An email pings into the Voice’s inbox alerting us to thew news that

The deadline to enter the Orwell Prize, Britain’s pre-eminent prize for political writing, is fast approaching: 14 th January 2009. Submissions are invited for work published between 1st January 2008 and 31st December 2008 (inclusive).

Of special interest, perhaps, to Lib Dem bloggers is the new Blog Prize:

In the year that we have made George Orwell a blogger, the Orwell Prize is delighted to announce a Special Prize for Blogs in 2009.

Running alongside the Book Prize and Journalism Prize this year, submissions will open on 22nd October 2008 and close on 14th January 2009, for all work published for the first time in the calendar year 2008. A longlist of 12 blogs will be announced on Wednesday 25th February 2009, a shortlist of 6 blogs on Wednesday 25th March 2009, and the winner at the Orwell Prize Awards Ceremony on 22nd April 2009.

The longlist for the Blog Prize will be decided by the Journalism Prize jury, overseen by the Director of the Prize. The Journalism Prize and Book Prize juries will then merge to decide on shortlists and winners for all three Prizes.
