Background on the Awards
The .INFO Awards were first launched in 2007 by Afilias, the registry operator for the .INFO domain. The 2007 and 2008 Awards were conducted in Germany only. Due to their popularity and success, Afilias decided to expand the program internationally in 2009. Now in 2010, our awards program is open to all .INFO site owners, anywhere around the world.
