Atlanta, GA. June 1, 2010 — Today, the Black Weblog Awards begins their call for entries for the 2010 awards season.

This year, based on popular demand, three new categories have been added: Best Blog Network, Best Film Blog, and Best Travel Blog.

“This year is going to be the largest Black Weblog Awards ever. With these new categories, we are branching out into more areas of content to showcase the diverse and rich areas of expertise of African-Americans in the blogosphere,” said Maurice Cherry, founder and chairman of the Black Weblog Awards. “We have grown leaps and bounds since starting in 2005, and this year is no exception; paying tribute to the level of knowledge out there in the community is our mission.”

About The Black Weblog Awards

The Black Weblog Awards was founded in 2005 to give recognition to Black bloggers (and those of the African diaspora) which were largely overlooked by other Internet award events. The Black Weblog Awards is an international showcase with participants from over 90 countries and stands out as the most widespread Internet award event for Black bloggers. To date, the Black Weblog Awards has recognized nearly 180 blogs in over 30 categories, and has also been featured in several mainstream and online media outlets, including NPR. Winners of the Black Weblog Awards have also went on to appear in other media outlets, like MSNBC, the Huffington Post, BET, the Washington Post, and many others.
