Masthead Online produces the Canadian Online Publishing Awards and has announced the 2009 Finalists.

The awards, which honour both English and French-language online publications, are for ‘web-first editorial content‘ that have a minimum of 80% Canadian content which is produced by Canadians living in Canada. Websites published by daily newspapers, community newspapers, book publishers and broadcasters are not eligible; “magazine websites” produced by newspaper publishers are eligible. There are two divisions: red and blue. The red division is for consumer, custom, religious and public association sites. The blue is for B2B, farm, scholarly and professional association sites.

There are over 250 entries. The winners, one in each of up to ten categories in two divisions, will be announced October 26 at the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto. Here is a list of the judges.
