A winner, a runner up and a shortlisted nominee
Salsa had a bumper time at the inaugural DrupalSouth Splash Awards. Organisations were allowed to submit up to three projects for the awards. We submitted three and were thrilled that each one was honoured in some way.
CivicTheme wins
CivicTheme won the Design/UX Splash Award. CivicTheme is an open source, inclusive and component-based design system. It was created so governments and corporations can rapidly assemble modern, consistent and compliant digital experiences.
