The Orwell Prize has announced a Special Prize for Blogs in 2009.
Running alongside the Book Prize and Journalism Prize, submissions will be accepted for all work published for the first time in the calendar year 2008.
Political writing is defined in the widest possible sense, and encompasses subjects including party politics, social issues, public policy, the media, conflict, public services, history, economics, the environment, local government, and international relations.
Entries should be per blogger, rather than per blog. Bloggers should submit permalinks for 10 posts of their choice. Bloggers should have a clear relationship with the United Kingdom or Ireland; the intended audience of the blog should be British or Irish.
Posts which are simply online versions of articles printed in other publications, or are links to such articles, are not eligible. Any bloggers falling into this category are advised to enter the Journalism Prize.
Closing date for entries is January 14, 2009.
