Judging is underway

Submitted by Phil Sim on Tue, 03/18/2008 - 01:08.

Judging for the 6th annual Sun Microsystems IT Journalism Awards is well underway, with a good number of judges having already submitted their scores.

We've had a couple of people ask when we're announcing finalists so I though I'd take this opportunity to remind entrants that there are no finalists this year as we have put in place a new judging process this year.
