By: E&P Staff There's still time to have your online accomplishments recognized in the EPpy Awards, which honor the best Web sites presented by media-affiliated companies. The deadline for the 14th Annual EPpys has been extended until midnight this Friday, Feb. 27.
Entries are accepted online only at the EPpy Awards Web site, www.eppyawards.com.
The 2009 edition of the EPpy Awards honors the best media Web sites, including newspapers, TV-Cable, and magazines. Awards will be given in 35 categories, including a new competition for Best Consumer Technology Blog. In addition to the 35 category awards, the EPpy Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement is expected to be given again this year.
The EPpy Awards will be presented at an awards luncheon at the Interactive Media Conference and Trade Show at the Astor Crowne Plaza in New Orleans on Thursday, May 7, 2009. The conference and trade show is also sponsored by Editor & Publisher and Mediaweek.
The 2009 EPpy Awards consist of 35 awards for media Web sites. There are three awards for best overall media-affiliated Web sites: for newspapers, magazines, and TV-Cable concerns. Each of these categories has two competitions, for large and small company Web sites. In the newspaper category, the cutoff between large and small Web sites is one million unique monthly users. The TV-Cable category is split between network and local affiliate Web sites. The magazine category is split between national magazines and regional/local magazines. An EPpy will also be awarded to the best Community/Suburban Newspaper Web site.
Contest fees are $150 per entry except in the College category, where each entry is $50. There is no entry fee to nominate an individual for the Individual Achievement Award.
The 2008 EPpy Awards drew close to 500 nominations from nearly 100 U.S. and international media outlets, Web-only services providers, college and universities.
