In a few weeks, the entries for the Online Journalism Awards competition will be ready for screening. You can help us pick the winners for the 2008 competition by becoming a screener.

As a screener, you will have several weeks to get the job done. The screening will start on Sunday, June 15, and the deadline will be Tuesday, July 15.

In past years, screeners have found the process to be a great opportunity to review some of the best work on the Web. Often, they see examples of great online journalism that they would not otherwise have seen.

Most screeners review entries over the course of three days. If you sign up, I will start feeding entries to you for review on June 13.

Would you like to join us again this year?

If so, please register here.

As a thank you to screeners who step up and complete their assignments early, the ONA is offering an incentive. The first 20 who finish screening all their assigned sies will receive free registration to this year's ONA conference, Sept. 11-13, at the Capital Hilton in Washington, D.C., worth $399 for members and $699 for non members.

Thank you for your help in the past, and we hope you will join us again this year.
