Digital Media Awards
Speaking of Irish awards, the excellent Irish podcast I told you about a while back, The Persuaders, has been nominated for Best Independent Podcast Production in the Digital Media Ireland awards.
Other Irish sites that have featured on Irish KC also up for awards include:
Balcony TV • Blogorrah • Silicon Republic • The Clare People • Irish Abroad • Dublin City Council • Failte Ireland • Dublin Coastal Development
The list of nominations is not a bad list of resources, and includes many more sites I regularly visit. Award winners will be announced on February 1st, 2007 in a fancy event at the Burlo hosted by Dave Fanning.

You’ll notice all those nominees paid €130+vat for the privilege of taking part. That’s a load of crap.
Yes Jim, I agree, and it gets even worse - so the awards are in effect the best of only the nominees for a category rather than the best of all applicable candidates for a category.
It’s the advertising industry though not a democracy, and probably all you could expect of contract publishers who indulge in online advertising.
And it’s another reason why I really like the Irish Blog Awards as run by Damien
