			<p>Prix Italia celebrates top quality, innovation and creativity in tv, radio and web content. The oldest and most reputable competition of it’s kind, this year Prix Italia welcomed over one hundred entrants from five continents to take part in the celebrations.</p>

			<p>We at 100 Shapes are rather proud to say our work on interactive drama <a href="http://footballersunited.pilots.bbcconnectedstudio.co.uk/">Footballers United</a> beat stiff global competition to win the award for ‘Best Digital Storytelling’.</p>
			
			<p>According to the jury “The website’s design and interactivity offer the visitor a splendid experience giving users an opportunity to delve into a large archive of content.” We agree completely!</p>

			<p>Launched alongside the First World War centenary commemorations, <a href="http://footballersunited.pilots.bbcconnectedstudio.co.uk/">Footballers United</a> is a unique interactive online drama set in Edinburgh during the conflict.</p>

			<p>Revolving around a group of young men and women as they cope with their new reality, it’s a story of how Scottish professional football was used to bring fans and friends to the front and about the women who stayed behind, became independent and even took their place on the pitch — only to face a 50-year football ban.</p>

			<p>Seamlessly blending technology, design and writing it combines a World War One drama with photos, documents and original video and neatly knits it all together with an interactive timeline.</p>
