Rencontre entre l'Afnic et l'ICANN

Afnic reveals the names of the web sites in .fr that will represent France at the Dot Award 2013 contest. This contest, proposed by several European registries, rewards the best web sites created by students using European ccTLDs (.fr, .be, .cat...). For its first participation to the contest, Afnic, as a key player in the French Internet and support for technical innovation, has chosen to reward maisondescanuts.fr, winning 1st prize in the Best Design Category and mazemag.fr, winning 1st prize in the Best Content Category.

"First of all, I should like to congratulate all the participants, who illustrated the superb scope of talent of young people in France, and their mastery of the Web. I also should like to thank them for choosing the .fr TLD for their projects. On behalf of all the staff at Afnic, we wish the winners the best of luck for the next phase in the contest"
Mathieu Weill, Afnic CEO
