Best Partnership Award goes to ... SpaceWarps! :-D

• by JeanTate

  From yesterday's Daily Zooniverse:

  Last night at the 2014 Broadcast Digital Awards, BBC Stargazing Live won the ‘Best Content Partnership’ award for its collaboration with the Zooniverse and, more specifically, the SpaceWarps project. They beat off competition from David Attenborough and Hollyoaks among others! You can read more about the award here. Well done to all involved, especially Amit Kapadia, the lead developer of the site, Michael Parrish for keeping the site alive under extreme traffic, David Miller for making it look awesome, and Aprajita Verma, Phil Marshall & Anupreeta More who are the scientists behind the project. Finally, we could not have done it without the overwhelming response from thousands of volunteers. Thanks to everyone who took part and made it such a special event!

  After also receiving an award for Operation War Diary earlier this year we are talking about getting a trophy cabinet installed at Zooniverse HQ 😛

  I just added this comment on the Zooniverse's Google+ site:

  Let's also give a shout out to the ordinary zooite members of the Space Warps Science Team, who are also mods on SW Talk, and who kept the floods of excited newbie zooites informed, engaged, and involved. Here's to you, Budgieye, c_cld, Capella05, ElisabethB, ... (sorry I don't have a list of all of you to hand)!

  Well done everyone! 😄
