Nashua, NH – Gov. Craig Benson joined New Hampshire's Internet community on March 13, to celebrate the Granite State’s most talented design companies and web site owners with the Fifth Annual New Hampshire Internet Awards Gala, hosted by NH.com, at The Center of New Hampshire.

Brad Fitzpatrick, new media designer and lead illustrator for ActiveEdge, garnered a second place award in the Best Entertainment Site category for his Thanks For Nuthin! cartoon illustration and animation website. “I’m thrilled to be honored for my web site” said Fitzpatrick, “I’ve worked hard to develop universally recognizable characters and depict them in humorous situations that resonate with a wide range of viewers”. Brads’ Thanks for Nuthin! characterizations infuse everyday situations with an amusing and satirical perspective that is fresh and witty. “I think of it as a collection of windows to the world of the Intellectually Challenged” said Brad. “Each scenario reflects the irony of everyday life.”

As new media designer and illustrator, Fitzpatrick is able to combine the traditional skills of illustration with the powerful medium of the Internet. 2003 is the second year in a row Fitzpatrick and ActiveEdge has received recognition at the annual NH Internet Awards for their outstanding creativity and technological savvy. In 2002, the ActiveEdge team of Brad Fitzpatrick, Bevan Wang and Duncan Hsu won top honors in the Best Use of Technology category for their work on the Eastern Mountain Sports, GPS interactive training module.
