The Lulu Blooker Prize is the world’s first literary prize devoted to « blooks » in English. A blook is a book with content that was developed in a significant way from material originally presented on a blog, web-comic or other website. This material includes the website’s characters, themes, ideas or outline that ends up getting published as a printed book.
Awarded in three categories:
Fiction � Non-Fiction � Comics
The judges this year are Cory Doctorow, Robin Miller and Paul Jones.
The Lulu Blooker Prize is the brainchild of the folks at Lulu.com, who offer self-publishing technology and services (they turn web content into blooks.)
