Donegal student Darragh Harkin has been shortlisted for this year’s eir Junior Spider Awards 2016.
The Crana College Transition Year student has been shortlisted in the Giga Spiders – Best Individual Project category.
Since 1996 the eir Spider Awards have honoured Irish individuals and organisations for their outstanding achievements online and celebrated the successes of the Irish internet and digital media.
The eir Junior Spider Awards were established in 2009 as a parallel programme for youths under the age of 19. The idea was originated by Business & Finance, working closely with the main sponsor’s eir.
The aim of these awards is to:
* Acknowledge the innovation amongst web creators under the age of 19.
* Provide an exciting programme that will encourage youths under the age of 19 to
further develop their technology skills in web design.
* Act as a catalyst for those youths under the age of 19 who wish to pursue a career
in this sector by providing access to influential business executives.
This year’s awards will take place on Monday April 25th at Croke Park Dublin! For further information on each of the shortlisted nominations log on to www.juniorspiders.ie
