LONDON - The AOP Online Publishing Awards, celebrating excellence in multimedia publishing, is urging companies to get their entries in as the deadline of July 27 approaches.

Entrants can visit the awards microsite to register their interest and find out more about the application process.

The AOP Online Publishing Awards are now in their sixth year and will be presented at a black-tie celebratory dinner at the London Hilton on Park Lane on October 3, following the AOP Online Publishing Conference.

Four new categories have been introduced this year: Best Use of Video; Best Podcast; Best Digital Creativity; and Online Community of the Year.

These new categories sit alongside the regular awards, celebrating the best launch, editorial team, design, advertising sales team, publisher and overall website, for business and consumer titles.

Last year's winners included: the Associated Northcliffe digital team, which won the AOP award for consumer online publisher of the year; TopGear.com, published by BBC Worldwide, which scooped the award for consumer website 2006; and E-Consultancy, which secured awards for Online Publisher - Business, and Editorial Team - Business.
