The nomination for LiveHopeLove.com was announced by the non-profit Pullitzer Centre, which produced the project with support from the MAC AIDS Fund, and is in the category 'New approaches to news and doumentary programming: Arts, lifestyle and culture'.
The multimedia website is based upon the 'HOPE: Living and loving with AIDS in Jamaica' project by Ghanian-Jamaican writer and poet Kwame Dawes, who is also the programme director of the Calabash International Literary Festival, held each year in Treasure Beach, St Elizabeth.
LiveHopeLove.com previously won an art award at the Webby's, which honours the Internet industry.
