On 23 June 2009, 15 school classes from all over Switzerland presented their website projects in the Kongresshaus Zurich. The prize-giving ceremony was held in the so-called "Bubble". It symbolises the internet and makes it easier for younger children and teenagers to grasp the concept. The places won by the winning classes are set out in the media release. The class that walked off with the most awards on the day was from Littau Dorf in the canton of Lucerne (winning the 1st prize and the jury prize), with their project entitled "VITA Büro LITTA". All the projects can be seen on the JuniorWebAward website. You can also register on this site.
