Blooker rewards books from blogs

The best books based on blogs are to be recognised in their own literary prize. Dubbed the Blooker Prize, the annual award will reward the best writers of literary works that started life as online journals. Prominent net activist Cory Doctorow will chair the judging panel and the author of the winning Blooker will get a modest cash prize. The Blooker's first shortlist will be announced in March next year and the first winner in 3 April 2006
