The Online News Association, the world's largest membership organization of digital journalists, and the University of Miami's School of Communication have issued a call for entries for the 2013 Online Journalism Awards, emblematic of the best in digital journalism.

The deadline for entries is June 21. Click here to enter. Winners will be announced in October.

Nine of the 29 awards come with a total of $37,500 in prize money, courtesy of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and the Gannett Foundation, including a new $5,000 award honoring the best in Watchdog Journalism.

This year, non-English entries will be considered in all categories.

"Some say journalism is in trouble, but we think these awards show the opposite is true," said Joshua Hatch, OJA chair and senior editor for data and interactives at The Chronicle of Higher Education. "When we look at what's happening on digital platforms - from the creation of new user experiences to the power small organizations have in reaching large audiences through their important work - we're thrilled by what we see. And now that all of our awards are open to entrants of all languages, we can't wait to discover even more innovative work and share it with our community."
