A while ago, we submitted our project to the web awards under the category “Side Project”, we were nominated to the top 5 and finally we won the Side Project of the year 2019 (Gæluverkefni ársins) at the Icelandic Web Awards!
SVEF Awards or the Icelandic Web Awards is an annual web event held to strengthen the industry and reward the best work to encourage professionals in the field.
As you may know, if you have been following us for a while (if not then continue reading) we are doing this to cross out our obstacles when finding the northern lights. Our main goal is to make hello aurora travellers’ best friend. We take users’ experience and users’ feedback very seriously and try our best to improve and implement as much as we can in the app.
This award is considering to be the first achievement for us since we launched hello aurora. We put so much effort into it and hoping one day the app will be beneficial for our users. This award answer what we are trying so hard to fulfil.
