There is to be a Special Prize for Blogs this year for the first time, under the rubric of the excellent Orwell Prize 2009.
Here is what one needs to offer to be in with a chance of winning:
The Orwell Prize rewards those who achieve George Orwell’s ambition ‘to make political writing into an art’. Entries should therefore be of equal excellence in style and content.
‘Political writing’ is defined in the widest possible sense, and encompasses subjects including (but not limited to) party politics, social issues, public policy, the media, conflict, public services, history, economics, the environment, local government, and international relations.
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.
Interesting to see whether I get anywhere with my own entries. Since I started this Blog back in January this year I have made some 600 postings – which ten are most likely to be apprecoated by the judges?
Ideas please.
