Now, not all of our wonderful community can make it. The joy of blogging is that we can meet new friends from far away lands. So I thought we would do something that CAN include everyone. I am please to announce the Annual Bloggers Bash Awards.

Is there a blog you simply love? Has someone made you smile week after week? Maybe they have super helpful and informative posts? Or perhaps you have been inspired by them. Now is your chance to nominate a fellow blogger for one of these six awards. Winners will be announced on the 1st August at the bloggers bash and for all those not physically there we will also announce the winners live on twitter using the hashtag #BloggersBash.

There are 6 categories you can nominate a blogger in. Nominations will be open for one week from today, therefore closing at 6pm BST on the 8th July.

The top few bloggers with the most nominations in each category will be pitted against each other in a public vote to win the award. Voting will be open for two weeks, from 16th July – 30th July, and results announced live on the 1st August.

The categories are as follows:

The Best Overall Blog Award is the Grand Champion Blogger. Nominations for this category should go to any blogger who you think has excelled all round. They continually produce fantastic blogs that never fail to entertain, inform or inspire. Who’s blog do you adore? Is there a blog you just wish you had written? Then this is the category to nominate them in.

The Funniest Blogger Award does what it says on the tin. Is there a blogger who continually makes you laugh out loud? Did you laugh so hard you cried? Maybe you snorted drink through your nose at one of their jokes. Who’s the funniest blogger of them all?

The Most Inspiring Blog Award again does what it says on the tin. Who consistently inspires you? Is there a blogger that’s thought provoking and inquisitive? Or perhaps they have become a muse to you with constant provision of inspiration? Who’s the one blogger you has touched your heart and inspired you? This is the nomination for them.

The Most Informative Blog Award is an award for the blogger who has the most informative posts. Maybe they constantly post about new and interesting topics you love. Or maybe they are posting about fascinating topics you know nothing about. have you found yourself longing to read a particular bloggers posts because of their content? Then this is the nomination for them.

The Best Dressed Blog is an award for the most stylish blog. Who’s blog looks sleek and sexy? Maybe they use stunning imagery, or perhaps they just have a unique written style to their blog posts. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so only you can judge who’s blog is the best dressed.

Last but by no means least is the Services to Bloggers Award. Who’s the kindest blogger of them all? Which blogger goes out of their way to help others? Maybe someone helped you kick start your blog or reblogs your posts. Perhaps someone consistently provides useful posts on how to boost your own blog. Or maybe you want to nominate someone who provides a platform for others. This is your chance to thank them.

To nominate a fellow blogger for any of these awards please either leave a comment below, with a link to their blog, or if you would like to nominate anonymously, then please email the name of the blogger with a link to: sachablack87(AT)gmail(DOT)com.

This is meant to be a bit of fun and a chance to include everyone in the Bloggers Bash, so please do nominate to your hearts content. Share this post and encourage others to nominate and remember to vote when voting opens on the 16th July.

RULES:

1. Please only nominate one blogger per category. If someone else has nominated the same person, that’s fine, you can still nominate that person. The more nominations each person has the higher the chance of them being put to the vote.

2. Please include a link to the nominated bloggers website, so that I can find them when setting up the voting system.

3. This ones voluntary – but if you like, add a little explanation as to why they have been nominated.

That’s it, and good luck everyone.
