Global Voices itself won a BOBs award in 2005, but many of the current and former contributors to this website are featured in this year's BOBs for their activities outside Global Voices. 
Global Voices ilishinda tuzo hiyo mwaka 2005, lakini wengi wa waandishi wa zamani na sasa wa Global Voices wanashiriki katika shindano hili mwaka huu kupitia shughuli zao nje ya Global Voices.
