In the EuroCrest competition for the best websites of cities, municipalities and regions in Europe, the official pages of the City of Dacice (Czech Republic) were one of the projects appraised. Announcement of the results was part of the programme of the 8^th ISSS/LORIS/V4DIS Conference held in Hradec Kralove on April 3--5.

The forth year of the EuroCrest competition was announced by Sdruzeni Zlaty erb (Golden Crest Association) in cooperation with the European Commission and European networks, e. g. TeleCities, and national associations of municipalities. The EuroCrest competition issues from the experience gained during organisation of the Golden Crest competition in the Czech Republic, with consultations of specialists from the European Commission also being taken into account.

Similarly as in the case of the Golden Crest competition, EuroCrest's objective is to reward outstanding projects, promote mutual exchange of experience and appraise the endeavours of local administration and self-government representatives for efficient use of information technologies with the aim of improving the quality and accessibility of public administration services. In this way, the organisers strive to contribute to accelerating the development of services provided by European public administration institutions.

This year's prize-winners in the EuroCrest competition included the official websites of the cities and towns: Aizkraukle (Latvia), Siauliai (Lithuania), Gdansk (Poland), Dacice (Czech Republic), Nitra (Slovakia), Constanta (Romania) and Dobrich (Bulgaria).
