PixelMEDIA today announced BreastCancerStories.org site has been selected as a finalist in the Nonprofit/Government category for the 14th Annual MITX Interactive Awards. Held annually by the Massachusetts Innovation & Technology Exchange, the MITX Awards recognize excellence in the creation of web technologies designed, produced, or developed in New England.
Begun in 1996, the MITX Awards has grown to the largest and most prestigious awards competition in the country for technology innovations and celebrates the best creative and technological accomplishments emerging from New England.
“The MITX Awards celebrates the union of the big idea and innovation. Every year the synergy between creative ideas and technology becomes more transparent. Our finalists are some of the world’s most forward thinking marketing and creative experts who help national and local brands connect with their audiences through the use of technology” said Kiki Mills, president of MITX. “MITX is proud to be the foundation for our region’s vibrant digital community, and to recognize and keep our creative minds, marketing strategists, technology developers and consumers at the forefront of evolution.”
As a finalist in the Nonprofit and Government category, PixelMEDIA was recognized for its work on BreastCancerStories.org. PixelMEDIA collaborated with founder Wendy McCoole to create a community that brings people affected by breast cancer together through sharing their stories and fostering mutual support.
Built using the popular Community Server technology, the website lets users create profiles and personal accounts with easy-to-use features, including an online journal, photo gallery, guest book, and in-site messaging service. The interface was designed to be inviting, elegant, and inspiring, while providing a comfortable, stress-free environment and intuitive communications tools.
“We are extremely pleased to be recognized once again by MITX,” said Erik Dodier, President and Co-founder of PixelMEDIA, Inc. “To be selected as the best of the best among such a vast array of talent in the region is quite an honor.”
PixelMEDIA will be recognized with the other New England finalists at a gala awards ceremony at the Boston Marriott Copley Place on Tuesday, November 17th.
