History and profile
editLaunched in December 2004 by two immigrants to Finland, Asa Butcher and Thanos Kalamidas, Ovi carries contributions to society, politics and culture in a number of different languages.
In 2006 Ovi was chosen as a Uranus.fi Success Story[1]
Since 4 September 2006 the site has had daily updates and continues to cover various global issues, including discrimination, inequality, poverty, human rights and children's rights.[2]
In January 2007, Ovi came second in Newropeans Magazine's Grands Prix 2006 awards. They were nominated as one of the three finalists in its 'Citizenship - Information' section. The awards recognise people active in the democratisation of the EU. A registered jury of around 1,000 people voted online, awarding Ovi 29% of the vote.[3]
