The Polka Theatre, the children’s theatre in Wimbledon, has won the voluntary and
community category of the annual UK online for business/InterForum E-Commerce awards
which are supported by the Department of Trade and Industry.
This was the first 
year that the awards recognised that non-profit organisations were using the Internet
in innovative ways and should be recognised with their own awards category.

The judges commended the theatre for its innovative use of technology which “encourages
collaborative and interactive involvement of children across the world using real
time technology”.
