The Lulu Blooker Prize is back, and it promises to be bigger and better than ever!
The prize for the Overall Winner has been increased to US $10,000, and the two category winners will receive US $2,500 each!
Another exciting change this year is a larger international panel of judges:
- Paul Jones, director of ibiblio.org, returns to the Blooker, and this time as Chair of the Judges.
- Arianna Huffington--author, nationally syndicated columnist, and editor of the HuffingtonPost.com.
- Julie Powell--author of Julie & Julia, Overall Winner of the 2006 Lulu Blooker Prize.
- Rohit Gupta--Bombay-based blogger, journalist, author and "sidewalk philosopher."
- Nick Cohen--London-based author, blogger, and columnist for The Observer and The New Statesman.
The entry deadline for the 2007 Blooker is Monday, January 15, 2007--so you have plenty of time to submit your blook, or to "blookify" your blog or website if you haven't done so.
We have some cool new features planned for the coming months, so check back with us for information on those, as well as all Blooker news and developments.
