Hey all! It’s that time of year again. The Canadian Blog Awards are now accepting nominations of your favourite blogs and bloggers.
Once again this year, I’ve been honoured with the task of helping Northern BC Dipper and SaskBoy administer the awards. Some fun stats from last year: In 2007, more than 700 blogs were nominated in 28 categories, and more than 45,000 votes were cast — an impressive number, considering only one vote per IP address per round was permitted. And did you see some of the great videos they put up to announce the winners? (I can’t decide if my favourite was Jack Layton, the bobble-head doll or the talking ball of yarn.) I was at the end of my pregnancy and totally bailed on the end of the competition, but the organizers did a fantastic job in making the awards presentation fun and funny in a lot of the categories.
I’d love to see even more great blogs nominated this year, so don’t be shy. You have until November 22 to make your nominations!
