FOCUS ON GREAT CONTENT
\nWe believe that what really matters is the content the audience experience when they are reading or viewing it \u2013 not the body of work of that creator. It doesn\u2019t matter whether you\u2019ve written 1 or 100 posts, or created 199 other videos if THIS ONE is the one that makes the difference.<\/p>\n

The BDWAbyWIM awards value great content in 6 different languages in order to promote the individuals who create it. We want to help creators to better achieve their potential by getting trade and consumer recognition \u2013 no matter where the live, work and play. This benefits the wine business around the world by promoting diversity and uniqueness and reaching a greater number of consumers.<\/p>\n

RESPONSIBLE
\nIn addition, BDWAbyWIM believes that quality and responsible content contributes to a shared Culture of Wine, and as such it has a role to play in promoting this culture in a positive and sustainable way for the long term benefit of individuals and society.<\/p>\n

\nFor a distinguished example of trade journalism, investigative or traditional journalistic reporting
\nFormat: text
\n1500 words or fewer
\nShould explore a specific subject dealing with some aspect of wine including production, distribution, marketing, sales, or consumption
\nShould include references to sources
\nShould try to be fair reporting striving for accuracy, fairness, and disclosure of all essential facts without undue or undisclosed bias
\nValue will be given to the BDWA \u201cQuality Criteria\u201d with an emphasis on Research
\nIn summary:
\nThis category should demonstrate the use of the online medium to explore interesting developments in the wine business, to expand readers\u2019 knowledge of the world of wine, the activities of companies and individuals, and the developments occurring around the world. It includes content intended to inform readers about wine, wine makers and the business of selling wine.<\/p>\n

Entries in this category are about developments and knowledge in the world of wine to keep readers informed of the changing events, issues, and characters in order to empower the informed.<\/p>\n

Investigative and educational pieces should go beyond merely restating known facts in order to spread wine education, but research and share new information, to go beyond textbooks and press releases to understand what is really happening. It will often, though not exclusively, take the form of \u201cobjective reporting\u201d and may be technical information, business analysis, people profiles or trend analysis. This should be about a combination of primary research, analysis and original thinking.<\/p>\n

In general, much of the content in this category will be aimed at the wine business and those with some commercial connection to the business of wine.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Best Editorial \/ Opinion Wine Writing<\/strong>
\nfor outstanding examples of wine writing, giving prime consideration to literary quality and originality
\nFormat: written text
\n1500 words or fewer
\nExploring any aspect of wine from a personal point of view
\nMay include personal opinions
\nValue will be given to the BDWA \u201cQuality Criteria\u201d with an emphasis on Clarity of Message and Originality
\nIn summary:
\nThis covers any written piece about wine that expresses the writer\u2019s point of view (or at least does not require objective reporting).
\nThe goal is to highlight the more original, entertaining, thought-provoking, and generally interesting writing whilst avoiding travelogues or plain reporting. It should be original content or commentary, demonstrating a clear grasp of the subject matter, but also the needs of different audiences. This content should generally help to make sense of the wide world of wine, and give new ways to inform and entertain wine consumers everywhere. It should encourage readers to engage with the wine world in new ways.
\nThis content can take the form of essays such as blog posts, but could also include other text forms (such as poetry, haiku, etc.).
\nIn general audience for this content will be wine consumers, whether they have a commercial relationship with the wine business or not.
\nBest Tourism Content with a Focus on Wine<\/strong>
\nThis is a broad category for content encouraging readers to learn about, visit and explore, specific geographical locations, where that content relates to that region\u2019s link to wine. This can cover travel, history or the local music, food, art and other cultural context
\nFormat: written text or video
\n1500 words or fewer, 10 minutes or less if video
\nExploring any aspect of tourism where this is linked to wine
\nMay include personal opinions
\nValue will be given to the BDWA \u201cQuality Criteria\u201d with an emphasis on the Quality of Presentation
\nIn summary: The entries in this category will not be judged so much on the format, but on their ability to communicate in an original, engaging and entertaining way about a location and its relationship with wine, thus hopefully motivating an audience to visit this location in future.<\/p>\n

Generally speaking this will be about the quality of the message, the presentation of materials to bring the location to life via the web, and the use of the potential multi-media opportunities of the web. Judges will also be looking for the best ways to build a broader culture of wine by bringing together stories about travel, history, culture and geography with a wine theme, not just focusing on wine alone.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Best Wine Themed Video<\/strong>
\nVideo content that educates, demonstrates, entertains or builds awareness for wine
\nFormat: video
\n10 minutes or less
\nExploring any aspect of the wine industry in video format
\nMay include personal opinions
\nValue will be given to the BDWA \u201cQuality Criteria\u201d with an emphasis on the Quality of Presentation
\nIn summary: Video is a creative medium. It is not enough just to create content using moving images, but to use the potential of video to bring a wine story to life in a new way. This category aims to highlight the best use of video to deliver a message or story about wine, whether this is technical information and education, or entertainment and opinion.<\/p>\n

The category is very broad, covering everything from documentary formats, to interactive experiences, animation, comedy, drama or simply video recordings of an event, however the judges will give most value to entries that present wine related stories in an original way and where the quality of the presentation, and therefore the clarity of the message, is high and there is a unique benefit to using video to deliver this particular message or story.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Best Wine Photo<\/strong>
\nfor the best photo to express the theme of \u2018Celebrating Wine Culture\u2018
\nFormat: Photo
\nUp to 3 photos
\nAny subject or setting will be considered as long as this relates in some way to the theme of the category
\nPhotos should not have been entered in other photo competitions
\nValue will be given to the originality, technical excellence, composition, overall impact, artistic merit and relevance to the category theme
\nIn summary:\u00a0If a picture is truly worth a thousand words, then this photo should eloquently convey a message to the viewer on the topic of the category theme (which will vary between editions). Many wine sites use images, but how many go beyond the simple representation of the objects to make a point?<\/p>\n

There are many ways to interpret the concepts, and to convey the message behind them, but the judges will also be looking for visually attractive images that display photographic skill and artistry that underline the unique importance of quality photography in the wine communications mix.<\/p>\n

Responsibility Award<\/strong>
\nA prize for the entry in ANY category of the 2016 BDWAbyWIM that best promotes the Culture of Wine and demonstrates the message of Responsibility & Moderation to its target audience

In summary:\u00a0The message of Responsibility is at the core of the Born Digital Wine Awards.

All BDWAbyWIM entries are judged according to criteria of their contribution to the Culture of Wine, and to Responsible communication. This award takes all this information across all categories to identify the entry that best demonstrates the principles we are striving for.<\/p>\n
