It’s that time again folks: The 2012 Bloggies are coming up fast. Nominations close on Sunday, January 15 at 10:00 PM EST. What is all this? The Bloggies are webblog awards nominated and voted upon by the readers of the internet. (Like Wikipedia!) There are quite a few categories so I’ve listed just a few below with some of last years winners:
2011 Best Gossip Weblog Winner Jezebel
Finalists – Gawker – PopSugar – TMZ – PerezHilton.com
Note: This category is now called “Entertainment”.
Best Group or Community Weblog Winner The Huffington Post
Finalists – GeekDad – Jezebel – The Consumerist – Curvy Girl Guide
Best New Weblog (Started in 2010) Winner The Year of Blogging Dangerously
Finalists GeekMom – WTF Is Up With My Love Life?! – Curvy Girl Guide – The World According to Curly Girl
Take some time to review the rules:
- Any pages with dated entries that existed at some point during the year 2011 are eligible.
- Only one nomination ballot and one finalist ballot may be submitted per person.
- E-mail addresses are required to vote. You must use your own address and confirm the verification e-mail.
- If you verify a second ballot, your first one will be replaced.
- In the nomination phase:
- URLs are required.
- Your ballot must contain at least three unique nominees.
- Weblogs may be nominated for multiple categories.
- Nominees must suit the category they are placed in.
- Weblogs may win a category over multiple years a maximum of three times.
Let’s get cracking on those nominations folks. Here’s the link again. Let’s go win the internet! Let’s show em all what self-aggrandizing is all about.
