Silver Surfer Awards 2014 – Only 4 days Left to Nominate!

Google and Age Action have joined forces once again to search for Ireland’s top Silver Surfers. The Awards celebrate and showcase older peoples’ use of the internet and technology.   We are hoping that the Men’s Sheds submit nominations for this year’s awards.

This year we are looking for enthusiastic people over the age of 50 who have an interesting story to share about how they use their computer and the internet and who will become a role model to inspire more older people to embrace technology.

We are calling on people across Ireland to nominate a friend, neighbour or relative who uses technology for pleasure or as a way to enhance the quality of their life.  This is the fifth year of the awards and there are five award categories as follows:

The public can nominate someone for an award by filling in a form online at www.ageaction.ie/silversurfer  or by phoning Anne-Marie on 01 475 6989. I have also attached a nomination form that can be printed off.  The closing date for nominations is Sunday 5th October 2014. 

The five award categories are:

Google Silver Surfer Award
An older person who embraces the Internet or technology with a sense of fun and adventure

New to IT Award
A person over the age of 50 who is new to technology and has overcome challenges to become an IT user

Hobbies on the Net Award
An older person who uses the Internet to pursue their passion or hobby or who uses IT for communication and social networking

IT Tutor(s) of the Year
An individual or group of any age who provides voluntary support to older learners
Golden IT Award
An individual over the age of 80 who uses technology to enhance their life

Great Prizes!

Winners of each award will receive a Chrome Book
