The search commences today, to find Britain's new young digital
entrepreneur, with the launch of the DediPower Digital Awards 2010, in
association with e-skills UK and The Sunday Telegraph.

DediPower, one of the UK's leading managed hosting specialists, is
looking to reward and develop Britain's best young digital talent, with a
first prize award worth over GBP50,000.

Craig Martin, CEO, DediPower says: "We are looking to find the young
entrepreneur with Britain's best new Internet-based business idea and reward
their innovative spirit. Equally, we are keen to recognise the development of
Britain's digital industry and ensure graduates, students and people with
great ideas are attracted to get involved with Digital Britain."

"We are delighted to have the full backing of e-skills UK and the support
of The Sunday Telegraph to help promote the Awards and to attract entrants
from across Britain."

The DediPower Digital Awards' first prize is up to GBP25,000 cash
investment, plus GBP2,000 in development funds and a further GBP25,000 worth
of business mentoring and free Internet hosting. There is also a special
Judges' Digital Innovation Award to stimulate the development of more great
digital ideas.

"If you are young and have a great idea, it is often extremely difficult
to know where to turn to get your idea off the ground, or how to get the
right advice," commented Martin.

"I experienced just this situation when I was in my teens. So, DediPower
wishes to provide stimulation, excellent advice and business mentoring to
Britain's young entrepreneurs and e-skills UK is right behind the Awards
rationale."

The DediPower Digital Awards are open for entries from today, for people
