Winners Announced for 2008 FITC Design and Technology Awards

Flugtag Flight Lab was the winner of the "Best In Show" Award at tonight's FITC Awards, part of the 7th Annual FITC Toronto - Design + Technology Festival.

The award was presented before a capacity crowd at Revival Nightclub in Toronto.

Winners in all categories received a can opener encased in Plexiglas along with a year of bragging rights.

"The winners of this year's FITC Awards reflect the diversity and creativity of the new media industry both in Canada and around the world," says Shawn Pucknell, Founder of FITC and producer of the FITC Awards.

Flugtag Flight Lab lets users design, build and fly their own paper flyer.

It was developed by Less Rain, a creative digital design agency with offices in Tokyo, Berlin and London.

The site also won in the 3D category.

The winning team, who work out of the company's Tokyo office, were not in attendance but sent an acceptance speech via video.

BrightQube, a royalty-free image marketplace, was the winner of the "People's Choice" Award while Brooklyn-based Big Spaceship and Coahuila, Mexico-based Grupo W were winners in multiple categories.
