Send A Cow’s Cowforce website for schoolchildren has won the best charity website
award in the Yahoo! Finds of the Year 2006 awards.
The Yahoo! Finds of the Year 
Awards, now in their fifth year, celebrate “the best that the UK has to offer on
the internet.”

Pledgebank.com, the website where people can create pledges and invite others to
join them, and which as a result benefits a range of charities and voluntary organisations,
won the award for best innovative website.

Mark Harris, one of the judging panel, and a freelance journalist who writes for
the Metro and The Guardian said: “The breadth and quality of the websites we saw
in this year’s Yahoo! Finds awards shows that innovation and imagination are alive
and well in the UK. The best of our British sites can stand up to anything produced
in Silicon Valley, delivering interesting, informative and fun content and surfing
the latest Web 2.0 trends.”

Yahoo! has now opened the last award, the People’s Choice Award, to voting. The 
British public now get the chance to vote for their favourite from the original 
45 websites which were shortlisted as a Finds of the Year website. This means that
the runners-up in the charity category could still scoop a prize. These runners-
up are:

* The Road to Beijing: a site which details one person’s efforts to participate 
in the 2008 Olympics as a marathon runner, and raise money for the British Lung 
Association.

* Big White Box: a new way to buy and sell digital pictures, with profits being 
donated to Oxfam, Care and Save the Children.

* Alternative Wedding List: the charitable gift list website where guests can make
donations to charitable organisations on others’ behalf.

* Dog Blood Donors: the website which allows dog owners to register for blood donations.

Voting closes on 15 January 2007.
