Introduction and Nominations


Blogs have been around about a year and a half now, and I thought it time we give the best blogs some recognition.

Introducing the first annual Bloggies!

I'll have a few categories and you can nominate anything for 7 days. You may nominate as much as you'd like, but unless your nomination is repeated or the judges (me and my fellow bloggers) deem it an excellent choice it will not go to the final stage, voting. Anyone can nominate anything (i.e. bloggers can nominate their own posts or whatever).

The voting stage will be 7 days as well. You may vote for as many things as you'd like in each category.

The categories are as follows:

Best Non-Fictional Single Post
Best Fictional Single Post
Best Multiple Post Fictional Story
Best Contest
Best Picture (Photograph or Otherwise)
Best Layout
Best Movie
Best Post
Best Sub-Blog (a blog created by a blogger that is not his main blog)
Best Blog

The winner of a category will be allowed to display prominently his/her trophy (see above) complete with a small plaque stating what he/she won for.

Also: please link to your nominations!

I second "Dental Hygienists" and "Multimedia of the Mind" for both Layout and Blog.

Also I add
Mostly Harmless, The Irrelevance of the Universe, and Easily Distracted to best blog (i'm not going to bother linking to them).

Also I realize the links look too big for the thing: don't worry about it. you can still copy them.
