Awards and Press:

In 2004, Glutter was the runner up for "Best Blog in Hong Kong" in "Asia Blog Awards."

In 2005, Reporters Without Borders nominated Yan Sham-Shackleton and her weblog “Glutter” for a free speech award.

“The Freedom Blogs Awards,” aimed to recognize and encourage self-publishing on the Internet as a tool for political change. The organization felt the nominees over the 12 month period between 2004 and 2005 made a significant impact on “Defending the Rights to Freedom of Expression,” through their writing and actions on the web."

Sixty independent writers were chosen from all over the world, and of the ten Asian Nominees, Yan was the only representative from Greater China.
