Bangladesh, Mexico and Syria triumph in 2015 The Bobs Awards

The winners of Deutsche Welle's The Bobs 2015 awards have been announced. Online projects from Bangladesh, Mexico and Syria were selected as winners by an international jury.

Projects in 14 languages competed in the categories of Social Change, Privacy and Security and Arts and Media, in addition to People's Choice.

Newly inaugurated this year as part of The Bobs was Deutsche Welle's Freedom of Speech Award, which was awarded in February to imprisoned Saudi blogger Raif Badawi.

The Bobs marks its 11th year of existence this year. Global Voices took the jury award in the Best Weblog in English category in 2005.
