9th Phil. Web Awards will include Blogs

I blogged about this exactly a year ago – The PWA should have a Blog Category.

So looked at what dropped in my Inbox:

With a few months to go before it unveils the 9th edition of its annual Philippine Web Awards (Philippine Webbies), event organizer Media G8way Corporation (MGC) has already bared that one of the many changes it is implementing in this nearly a decade-old event is the inclusion of a “Blogs” category.

The “Blogs” category has been added to honor the best Weblog or online journal made by a Filipino/Filipina or a group where the majority of the members are Filipinos by birth, descent, or citizenship. Content can be anything under the sun – as long as it corresponds with the guidelines implemented by the Philippine Webbies organizing committee.

They have a new website for this 9th year, but some fo the pages are still blank or with garbage texts but the Categories are listed here:

3. BLOGS
Weblog/blog or online journal site/s of an individual or group:
1. personal blogs
2. music blogs
3. fashion blogs
4. photo blogs
5. political blogs
6. travel blogs
7. mobile/tech blogs
8. link blogs
9. corporate/company blogs
10. excluded: Weblogs integrated within a Web site; the blog site, even when linked within a Web site, should open up a separate window.

The #10 exclusion is a bit vague. And I don’t see any “definition” on what is considered a blog.
