CMS-CHANNEL TAPPED AS WEBBY AMBASSADOR IN BELGIUM
FOR THE 11th ANNUAL WEBBY AWARDS

Belgium, Buggenhout - November 15th 2006 - The Webby Awards, the leading international award honoring excellence on the Internet, today selected CMS-Channel as its official Webby Ambassador in Belgium for the 11th Annual Webby Awards. The Webby Call for Entries began on September 19, 2006.

As an Ambassador, CMS-Channel will oversee outreach to Belgium's most outstanding interactive and creative professionals, encouraging potential entrants to submit their work for consideration for The 11th Annual Webby Awards.

Hailed as "one of the most prestigious awards in the world" by the BBC, The Webby Awards is presented and judged by the International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences, a global organization with a membership that includes musician David Bowie, Virgin Group founder Richard Branson, The Body Shop president Anita Roddick, "Simpsons" creator Matt Groening, Real Networks CEO Rob Glaser, and fashion designer Max Azria.

"The Webbys has always received outstanding entries from around the world, but with so much of today's very best interactive work being created outside the US, it is more important than ever for us to work with local industry leaders such as CMS-Channel to help us find the very best work in Belgium," said David-Michel Davies, Executive Director of The Webby Awards and The Academy.
 
Noting that The 10th Annual Webby Awards received a record number of entries from over 40 countries, Davies said CMS-Channel would play a critical role in building on that momentum and increasing entries from Belgium this year.
