{title}In Wales we have this annual event called Technology Wales Awards which is hosted every year and brings together most of the IT industry in Wales for a slap up feed and a pint of two.

This year, I’ve been nominated and reached the finals of the Web Designer of the Year category for my work on BBC Wales “/wales” service and BBC Wales Where I Live sites (South East, South West, Mid, North East and North West.)

It’s a small event in the scheme of things, but it’s nice to get the recognition. Wonder what the prizes are…

Congrats with your nomination. Hopefully you win! It’s a shame we don’t have these sort of awards in Belgium.

Congrats on your nomination, well deserved. Good luck on making it through to the podium. If you don’t, well a bit of nosh and a couple of pints isn’t a bad consolation prize.

Hi Mark

Congratulations mate. Last year I was part of the team which won the website of the year for the work carried out for Arriva Trains Wales at TW04. All we were given was an insignificant statue.

It’s even better that you’ve been nominated as you’ll find that within this event some of the so called judges are also from the same company of the people who win.

Strange that eh ;)

Anyway good luck and hope you win.

A picture of Mark BoultonI'm a graphic designer from near Cardiff in the UK. I've been a designer for over ten years now and primarily work on the web. I'm still partial to a bit of print every now and then though. I used to work for Agency.com in London as an Art Director before working as a Senior Designer for the BBC in sunny Cardiff. This was all before I took leave of my senses and formed my own design consultancy, Mark Boulton Design Ltd.

I've got a thing about grids and typography and occasionally ramble on about them to anyone who will listen.

If you're after simple, clean and effective web design; let me know.
