$1,000 prize for best opinion blog

The Week magazine will be awarding an annual prize for opinon journalism works in four categories, one of which is blogging.

Here's the catch: the award will be made to the charity of the winner's choice. Oh well, I guess the prestige of the award is what really matters. "...columnists play an increasing role in framing and shaping the debates of our time. ... We wanted to recognize the people who do this type of thinking and analysis and argument."
