Web Festival Awards:
1. Category - General portals:
Awarded site: Iskon Internet portal (http://www.iskon.hr)
In the category of General Portals there was little doubt as to
which portal would take the prize. Having its own search engine,
easy-to-read and well-organized catalogue, as well as a free web
mail system which they developed themselves, ISKON took the award
in this category as the finest Croatian General Portal. This technically
perfect portal is even more enhanced because it can hook up to
daily news from KLIK.
Prize: Book PC
Sponsor: Times telecom
Special Mentions of the Jury:
Corner daily electronic magazine (http://corner.boa.hr)
This daily electronic magazine deserves much credit from the evaluating
team. Its extensive content, which is replenished on a daily basis;
a stable amount of links to interesting and useful information
on the Web, etc., give this portal Special Mention of the Jury.
Prize: Web Visual InterDev 1.0
Sponsor: Microsoft Hrvatska
Internet Monitor (http://www.monitor.hr)
This portal is organized well so far as news are concerned, and
is always up-to-date. Internet Monitor thus also deserves Special
Mention of the Jury on the part of the evaluating team. With its
wide-ranging content, almost like a forum with real topics, it
becomes a popular portal to many.
Prize: Encarta

2. Category - Subject-based
portals:
Awarded site: Star Trek Center (http://www.st-trek.net)
Probably the biggest suprise of this competition was when the
Star Trek Center portal deservedly took the award in the category
of Subject based portals. "Star Trek" fans will discover many
interesting items dealing with their favorite SF series on this
well-designed website. A detailed portal of all aspects of this
very popular SF theme is the main reason why Star Trek Center
triumphed in the category of Subject based portals.
Prize: Handspring Visor and GSM W@P
Sponsors: Powercom sistemi and VIPNet
Special Mentions of the Jury:
Slavonski Brod Online (http://www.sbonline.net)
The effort put in this portal, as well as the technical output,
are the reasons why Special Mention of the Jury was awarded to
Slavonski Brod Online. Search engines for finding Web pages, as
well as the personnel and companies from Slavonski Brod, make
Slavonski Brod Online a very useful portal for all those who are
for whatever reason connected to this region of Croatia.
Prize: Web Visual InterDev 1.0
Sponsor: Microsoft Hrvatska
Sport Net (http://www.hrsport.net)
Special Mention of the Jury went also to Sport Net, a Croatian
sports magazine. Although, as its name says, it does not contain
much information which we could consider as portal, the effort
put in by the creators is obvious. For this reason the evaluating
team decided to award it with Special Mention of the Jury. Their
devotion to sports is evident with regards to the Olympics, and
one can always find the latest news, interviews, and exclusive
shots whenever one opens this Website.
Prize: Encarta
Sponsor: Microsoft Hrvatska
3. Category - Portals for special
interest groups:
Awarded site: Moderna vremena online (Modern Times)
(http://www.moderna-vremena.hr)
Even though this portal is essentially an on-line bookstore, "Moderna
vremena" is not what we typically expect of an Internet bookstore
- the books on sale are not the only items which can be found.
Book reviews, evaluation and information on various forums/gatherings,
columns, top-lists and news, are only a few of the factors which
make this Website an excellent portal for anyone fond of literature,
especially Croatian literature.
Prize: Handspring Visor and GSM W@P
Sponsors: Powercom sistemi and VIPNet
Special Mentions of the Jury:
MRC (http://mrc.math.hr)
"Mathematica Reference Center" is a very detailed portal for all
those who use Mathematica in their work - mathematicians, physicists,
etc. Besides the fact that this portal provides answers to frequently
asked questions, it contains an archive of news group and links
to other related pages dealing with Mathematica, the evaluating
team rewarded Special Mention of the Jury mainly because of the
specialized search tools whereby one is able to search through
the content in Mathematica all over the world. This portal is
one-of-a-kind in this competition.
Prize: Web Visual InterDev 1.0
Sponsor: Microsoft Hrvatska
HULK (http://portal.linux.hr)
The Linux community in Croatia is in charge of several websites,
whereby this one operates as a connecting portal to all of them,
as well as a link to all Linux data all over the world. The portal
is straightforward and organized efficiently, while its greatest
value is its documentation of certain aspects of Linux which was
translated into Croatian by the users themselves.
Prize: Suite Office 99
Sponsor: Studentshop Perpetuum Mobile
hr.aquatica (http://www.orbicon.com/hraquatica)
In the category of Portals for special interest group, the jury
chose this Website because of its attractive and thorough description
of subject. For all those fascinated by aquatics, this portal
will provide them with exciting information. What the evaluating
team was particularly keen on was the fact that the portal attracts
even those users who are not as acquainted with the subject, thus
awarding it Special Mention of the Jury. The jury considered this
portal to be very fine graphically-speaking.
Prize: Office 2000
Sponsor: Microsoft Hrvatska
