Hi to everyone listening in to Dave’s show!

I wish I could do a “one for everyone in the audience” kind of thing but I can get close enough. Listed below are the spot prizes being given away on the night. I hope to have a few more by Saturday.

There’ll be 2 i-mode phones to be given away thanks to o2.

There’ll be 4 vouchers worth 30 euros each to be given away thanks to BT Ireland.

There’ll be 4 Fon routers to be given away thanks to Fon.

Additionally each category winner is now also going to be given a 3 month subscription to Bitbuzz.

In running order these will be the Awards being handed out on the 11th of March. The main Award of best blogger will be the last award of the night, naturally.

* Best Fictional Piece in a Blog
* Best Comment/Commenter
* Best Technology Blog/Blogger
* Best Use of the Irish Language in a Blog
* Best Political Blog
* Most Humorous Post
* Best Arts and Culture Blog
* Best Group Blog
* Best Photo Blog

Just a reminder that the Blog Awards are this Saturday at 1900 (sharp if you want a seat). Entrance fee is 5 euros. Registration will start around 1840. Registration being you hand over the cash and you get a raffle ticket (for the various spot prizes which will be listed in another blog post). Go here to pre-register your attendance. Looks like it will reach capacity or be over-capacity.

As discussed previously there’ll be a tech event at the location before the main awards from 1500 onwards and for those not into tech there’ll be cocktails in the Cellar Bar in Merrion at 1700

Rick will be on Dave Fanning’s show on Thu to talk about the Irish Blog Awards. They’d like to hear from Irish Bloggers about the nature of bloggers. The who, what, where and when. Read Rick’s Blog for more information.
