“The competition judges singled out African Voices especially for its dynamic, interactive nature. ‘This site is absolutely brilliant,’ raves Deke McClelland. ‘Highlighted by killer organization and strategic use of Flash and media, it tells its story effectively and engagingly.’ … Judge David Glaze calls the site ‘an exceptional piece of work, clever and restrained in its use of Flash, well-organized, and thoughtfully designed.’”
