Voting is now open for the Blogpower Awards, and there were a lot of nominations! James Higham [who is running the awards] received 425 emails of nominations! James has worked very hard indeed, and now almost all of the categories are open for voting for the next week - voting ends on June 13th at 1900.

You can vote for as many people as you like, but only once a day.

The categories are as follows:

  1. Best Britblog or Column
  2. Best North American Blog or Column
  3. Best Blog or Column outside North America and the U.K.
  4. Best Fisker
  5. Best Ranter
  6. Best Political Blog or Column
  7. Best Blogpower Blog or Column
  8. Best Layout and Style
  9. Best Blog Name
  10. Best Little Blogger [i.e. under 100 uniques a day]
  11. Most Articulate Wordsmith
  12. Most Under-rated Blog or Column
  13. Most Over-rated Blog or Column
  14. Most Politically Incorrect Blog or Column
  15. Most Sadly Missed Blog or Column
  16. Most Consistently Entertaining Blog or Column
  17. Prettiest or Tastiest Blog or Column [refers to food or domestic bloggers]
  18. Award for Services to Blogging
  19. Best Post of All Time
  20. Most Unintentionally Humorous post

Whilst I have been lucky enough nominated enough times in to get into the poll in three categories [7, 8, 10] and nominated once in category 13 [less good], I urge you to vote for those you think are best in the poll.

So go and vote early, and vote often!

The Blogpower Awards are open for nominations until 21.00 today [I had meant to blog about them before, but other things got in the way]. Blogpower began with an open letter to the small blogger, and the motto ‘do unto other blogs as you would have them do unto you’ and has expanded since those early days to include a large number of blogs [as can be seen in the Blogpower blogroll on the right]. Through Blogpower I have certainly come across a large number of very good blogs, who I visit regularly. All of the Blogpower blogs, however, are well worth a visit.

These Blogpower Awards are pretty much a natural evolution of the Blogpower project. Anyone can nominate anyone [with the top ten in each category going through to a vote], and it has already unearthed some fantastic hidden gems, and I haven’t even visited all the nominees yet!

Please got and nominate blogs for the Awards [especially if you want to nominate me ;>] and visit some of the other fantastic blogs that are already nominated! And don’t forget to go back for the vote!
