Friday, June 22 is the final deadline for the fourth annual Canadian Online Publishing Awards, recognizing Canada’s best editorial and design work in digital publications including websites, tablet editions, digital replicas and apps.

Entries are reviewed by a prestigious panel of digital publishing experts from Canada and the U.S., and winners are selected in 15 categories across three divisions.

The program is open to digital publications produced in conjunction with print magazines and newspapers, as well as digital-only magazines and blogs, and digital publications from broadcasters.

New this year is a category for Best Data Visualization, awarded for the best use of data visualization technology for journalistic purposes (e.g. interactive maps, animated infographics).

The 2012 COPA winners will be announced at an awards gala in Toronto in October.
