Wanted: Tech-Savvy Kid Web Designers

Hostway will name two child Web designers America's Youngest Web Wizards.

Chicago, IL—November 29, 2004—They consider themselves technology mavens. They can write HTML as quickly as their book reports. Their creative ideas for Web content are endless. And they aren't even in high school yet.

Across the nation, elementary and middle school students are designing astonishing websites, but are not receiving the recognition they deserve. To honor these talented "Web Wizards," Hostway, a global leader in Web hosting, is conducting its first national search for "America's Youngest Web Wizards" – K-8th graders who have designed websites with extraordinary creativity.

"Hostway is very eager to showcase the technological successes of these bright and talented kids," said John Lee, vice president and general manager of Hostway. "After all, they are the Web designers, technologists and CIOs of tomorrow."

"Americas Youngest Web Wizards" was established to raise awareness of the importance of technology education among elementary and middle schools nationwide, and to honor the nations' exemplary youth Web designers.

As a reward for their outstanding website design skills, Hostway will award one elementary student (grades K-5) and one middle school student (grades 6-8) with the following:

• A Dell Ispiron 8600 laptop ($1500 value)*
• 12 months free website hosting, based on Hostway's standard "personal site" service offering
• National recognition as "America's Youngest Web Wizard"
