Afilias has announced the winners of its new .INFO Awards. Coming in first place is thueringen.info, a travel portal for the Thuringia region of Germany. The owner of the site won a cash prize of $7,500.
In second place is GPS-Tour.info and in third is Turkel.info. Each site won $5,000 and $3,000 respectively.
The contest winners were determined by a user vote. Afilias started the contest as a way to demonstrate the usefulness of the .info extension. From a marketing perspective, the award is good way to get the word out about the extension, but I still think .info has a long way to go in proving its reliability and viability to the general public.
