Submissions for the blog prize can cover any topic, be situated on the newspaper website or on a separate site linked to by the newspaper.

Each will be judged on interaction with its community of readers, development of debate and relevance to the paper and the local area.

The digital team of the year award is intended to acknowledge innovation and creativity in expanding local media's digital portfolio.
