Organisers of the Flackenhack Awards, billed as the 'anti-awards' for the UK technology PR and media industry, are auctioning off IT journalists on eBay to raise money for their chosen charity.

Donations made to the Adopt-A-Hack scheme will help support Byte Night, an event hosted by the technology industry to raise money for Action for Children.

The 'right to invite' the journalists to the awards ceremony, which will be held on October 29, is being auctioned, according to a post on the Flackenhacks blog.

Journalists up for grabs include ZDNET's David Meyer, who at time of writing is priced at £26, and freelancer Michael Dempsey, currently commanding £19.99.
 
Categories for the awards are being asked for through the Flackenhacks blog with suggestions including: the most pointless press release, the rudest journalist in the sector and 'bandwagon jump of the year'.
