The awards, now in their fourth year, were set up in recognition of the huge changes online publishing is making to journalism and were the first awards to honour the work of online journalists.
The competition is open to all European journalists and the judges are drawn from leading media houses across the continent. The EOJ Awards are administered by a supervisory board consisting of leading journalism educators from across the continent.
Awards will be offered in 21 categories, detailed on a special web site - www.net-media.co.uk. All entries must be submitted via the entry form on the web site by 31 May 2002.
This year's competition will be audited by the electronic division of the Audit Bureau of Circulation (ABCe).
Milverton Wallace, founder and organiser of the EOJ Awards, said the recent upheavals in the online media sector serve to reinforce the need for the profession to produce more journalists with a practical understanding of what Internet media technologies are capable of and how to use them to produce new and exciting journalism services for our readers and viewers.
"The aim of these awards is to showcase excellent examples of good stories told with the tools of the Internet and to help accelerate the development and promotion of best practice in online journalism among European journalists," he said.
