The 2008 Online Journalism Awards are a comprehensive set of journalism prizes honoring excellence in Web journalism.

The Online Journalism Awards were launched in May 2000. The contest honors excellence in Internet journalism and is open to Web sites around the world. The judges will review entries in the following categories this year: Knight Public Service Award; General excellence in online journalism; breaking news; specialty journalism; enterprise journalism; service journalism; online commentary; creative use of the medium; student journalism.

In most cases, judges name four finalists, but in some categories name fewer.

Please note: The Contest will close on May 31, 2008. There will be no extensions.

* Entry fees -- Entrants from Large institutions (whose combined Web sites attract 1,000,000 or more uniques) will pay a fee of $150 per entry. Entrants from Medium institutions (whose combined Web sites attract 100,000-999,000 uniques) will pay $100 per entry. Entrants in the Small category will pay $50.

* For individuals not representing a media institution, there is a $25 discount if you are an ONA member. There are exceptions to this general rule and entrants should check the rules for each category carefully.

* Judges will be invited to place special emphasis on entries that are original to the Web. Entries that were first published in another medium are still eligible for entry (except for the Online Commentary category), but emphasis will be placed on entries that demonstrate mastery of the special characteristics of the Web.
