2012 Bloggies Awards – nominations open

Well, it is that time of year again. You can nominate your favorite blogs for top honors in the 2012 Bloggies Awards. As many know, WUWT won last year in the Best Science Blog category. This year, Science and Technology blogs have been combined into a single category, so the competition will likely be stronger.

Here’s the rules:

• 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.

The way it works is pretty simple.

1. You go to the main page http://2012.bloggi.es/

2. Scroll down for nominatiom forms

3. Fill out forms with names and URL’s of the blogs you are nominating (you need to nominate at least 3).

4. Confirm via an email sent to you (valid email address required)

For the Science and Technology category (presumably where WUWT would go) this is what the form looks like. You can nominate up to three blogs.

Note: in order for the nomination to go through, you have to nominate in three unique categories, so choose your favorite blogs in other areas too.

Nominations are open until January 15th, after that its handled internally for voting with 200 randomly selected judges.
