Bloggers can now enter major journalism award

Just noticed that the Telkom ICT Journalist of the year award now has a “Citizen Journalist” category, accepting entries from blogs or personal websites. There are nice prizes (overseas trip) and good dosh (40k) up for grabs. If the gyrating, glitter-laced dancers at the gala event are anything to go by I suppose you’d have to say it’s a pretty prestigious event. Strangely, they’ve lumped the blogger/cit J category together with “community journalism” which is not quite the same… but it’s a good start. The site reads:

Community and Citizen Journalist: Stories must be published on a personal web site, blog, group-blog, or citizen journalism aggregator. Republication of stories produced for the traditional media (print, radio, TV) or commercial online media is not allowed.

Better hurry — entries close Jan 15…
