The BBC has a report on 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.
Chief judge Doctorow said the unification of book and blog has also seen the emergence of a new creative style.
“Blogs encourage their authors to publish in small, partially formed chunks,” said Mr Doctorow.
