Blogs! In the “Blog izarren bila” initiative, this year’s winners were announced on Thursday afternoon in the four categories of the competition. That was in the Blogak days beyond the text. At the conference held at the Casa del Euskera in Bilbao, several experts discussed the latest trends in new technologies, such as links between social networks and blogs, podcasts, the advantages of audios and the possibilities offered by the Creative Commons license. The day also analyzed what to learn from concrete experiences.
In the cultural section, the prize has been for Xerezad, directed by Jasone Larrinaga and Ana Morales, who, according to the jury, are "very active" both in the blog and in social networks, and whose audios require a lot of work.
ARGIA blogger Imanol Epelde has been awarded 27 social and political shoes. The judges have highlighted their “living” style, as well as the mastery of the Youtube language and the reflections that have been made through it: “It’s very active, humorous and original.”
The blog Iruñe Astitzen Counter-kantxa, whose objective is to promote women’s sport, has been the winner in the category of leisure, “has the ability to make the claim in a humorous and joyful tone”. In the scientific and technological field, the Laboratory has been awarded the prize for its ability to offer technical topics in a “human way”, among others, to Dabid Martínez, who is responsible for the blog.
The most recent ARGIA blogger award has been deserted this year, but blogs Begane and Kablegintza have been awarded a one-year membership. The other winners received a trophy from the artist Bernat Vidal and a cheque of 200 euros in cash.
