Deutsche Welle

German international broadcaster Deutsche Welle launched its seventh annual blogging competition in 11 languages to reward online journalists who don’t get the credit they deserve.

The awards, nicknamed the BOBs, aim to award the online writers who aren’t getting the praise they deserve for informing us about events happening around the world.

This year’s competition focuses on human rights and freedom of expression, freedom of assembly and other human rights

Bloggers who write in the following languages are eligible: English, Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, French, German, Indonesian, Persian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.

Entries are judged on quality, not number of nominations. The international jury of bloggers and media experts will choose the 11 best blogs and websites in each category and then turn it over to readers with online voting.

The jury will convene at Deutsche Welle headquarters in April to name the winners in each category.
