Today we concluded the voting rounds for the 2007 eCulture Writer Award for the promotion of local Nigerian culture via the Internet. Entries were selected from 340 weblogs authored by Nigerians.

Of the 100 entries that were considered, we are happy to announce that the Great Edo Nation blog was selected as this year’s recipient with the seminal post Origins II, a brief but well written piece tracing the history of the Bini peoples of Edo State in Nigeria.

The eCulture Writer award is held in December every year.
