Website of the Year Title Up For Grabs

East Anglian journalists who think their newspaper website has got the right stuff should make a start on their applications for a regional award.

Submissions are now being sought for the EDF Energy East of England Media Awards 2007, and among the top categories is the title of Website of the Year.

The competition, organised in association with holdthefrontpage.co.uk, is free to enter and has both cash prizes and trophies on offer to the winners.

Claire Byrd, regional media manager for the utility group, commented: “There have been some very big stories in the patch in the past 12 months and it will be interesting to see how the different media tackled them, as well as a chance to see how they made the most of more run-of-the-mill tales.

“It is a great opportunity for local talent to be recognised and I hope that all branches of print and broadcast media will seize the moment and give the judges a tough time in choosing the winners.”

Among the other awards to be handed out at the January ceremony will be the prize for Daily Newspaper of the Year and for the top community campaign.

The deadline for submissions is December 7th and further details can be found here.
