The Hantsweb Awards is a unique and prestigious event that promotes and provides recognition of excellence and innovation in website design, accessibility and web services. The Awards are open to any website or web service that is based in, or serves, the residents of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

Since 2002 Hampshire County Council has organised the Awards to improve the standard of online services, encourage good practice, reward innovation and raise awareness of the opportunities the web presents for communities. Over the years they have highlighted the best in online services to local communities as well as benefiting the interests of all those who have participated.

Alton RFC has been nominated in the Special Interest category (covering sporting activities) and shortlists are due to be drawn up in mid-November. Finalists from each category will go through to the Hantsweb Awards ceremony which is scheduled to take place on the morning of 23rd February, 2010 at the Planetarium at Intech in Winchester where the winners of each category will be announced.
