"It was my great honor and pleasure to be invited to participate in the Bahrain eContent Award. This was my first visit to Bahrain and I was impressed. This is one of the most energetic and dynamic countries I have encountered. People I met were professional, intelligent, efficient, and most of all, very beautiful and handsome!!

The Bahrain eContent Award was so well organized that it can become a model for other countries when they organize WSA National Contest. It also laid a more solid foundation for the future development of the World Summit Award. Waheed is the most hard working Chairman and Gabriel is such a great moderator. I enjoyed the jury process and learned a great deal from all of you.

I am happy that there will be upcoming cooperation between my Association and the Ministry of Industry & Commerce and the Bahrain Internet Society. I look forward to our fruitful relationship to better serve our society through ICT."

"I was lucky to be offered the opportunity to be one of the jurors in the Bahrain eContent Award. To me it was a very enriching experience, because I was given the chance to work with professionals from various fields. The process in itself was very thorough where every care was taken to give each product the chance to be evaluated several times by people coming from various disciplines with a wealth of experiences, knowledge, and skills. Not only that, the decision to choose a product was never left to ones preferences, each evaluation round was followed by a plenary session, where very educational and elevating debates took place. In my opinion the process might not have been a precise one, but this aspect never affected the validity of its outcomes."

"I would like to thank you for having me attend the Jury process for the Bahrain eContent Award. It was a good experience for me to see the whole jury-process ‘live’ and to meet other people involved in WSA. I have also seen some very good e-products and I am curious to see which ones will be nominated for Bahrain. This week I am starting to organize our national contest in Mozambique, starting with the creation of the website. We would like to accept your proposal of using the structure of your website."
