It does seem like I've been hosting a lot of events recently right? Well, there's a perfectly good reason to! Well, maybe not an
amazing reason but a perfectly viable one.
See that button? THAT, my friends, is the official button for the Bloggy Awards. What
are the Bloggy Awards exactly? Well, if you go to the
official site, you'll see today there's a post up for all the different categories and how to enter, but I'll give you a rundown here so you don't have to be overwhelmed by everything on the official post. It's going to be hosted by Eileen from
***Singing and Reading in the Rain*** , Lisseth from
Read-a-Holicz, Nikki from
Fiction Freak, and me!
Basically, there are a little more over 15 categories, all different, and you will nominate them by emailing in your choices to
bloggyawards@gmail.com. You can nominate three people for each category, and if you nominate somebody, tell them! We want as many people to be involved and if the bloggers up for nominations can actually get involved with the process, that would further the amount of success we have and we could continue this event next year.
To nominate somebody, please format your email like this:
Category Title
Blog Title (link)

The categories you can nominate for are:
- Well-known blogger
- Best design
- Best reviews
- Most helpful
- Best breakout blog (Best new blog, meaning within six months)

- Best meme
- Nicest blogger
- Most creative blogger
- Hottest blog (best content: I just got tired of constantly saying "Best" and "Most")
- Best group blog

- Best author blog
These aren't the
best blog award titles, but if you guys think of a better name feel free to tell us so we can change them.
Nominations will be open for exactly a week, until Monday August 13th, where we will tally the total amount of nominations and any blogs who have over a set amount of nominations (that's to be announced, depending on how many people are willing to participate) and we'll make a public announcement on the official site. Afterwards, we will send out about five questions to the nominees (the set of questions will be the same for each category) and then post their answers later one. Votes will be open for another week for the final winner of the awards, and then announced again on the official site.
Please remember to try and find as many blogs as you can for each category. Don't just go for the popular blogs, we want to spread blogger love and highlight as many blogs as possible. We want to tell people about new blogs, so if you want
your blog to be nominated, post about it, hype up the Bloggy Awards, and help us network it! :)

The Bloggy Awards site if you want to know more about this and start casting in your nominations! :)
***So far, the winner of an award will most likely only get a web button with a trophy and the name of the award for bragging rights, but we're going to try to get some swag to mail out to the winners. If any authors want to mail out any swag feel free to contact me :)***
