Before the reactions occur, please thank the sponsors for once again investing in the Blog Awards and making it happen. Why not link to them and thank? Please congratulate your felllow nominees and read some of the many new blogs that have come along this year and tell others of them.
These lists are the raw nomination lists with spam/junk nominations and some dead blogs removed. Yes we know some blogs in categories do not fit the category but this is what the general public has submitted. We do not have logos for you to put on your blog, other bloggers make them each year or you can make them yourself.
If you have an issue with a blog for not matching whatever criteria, it would be nice if you left a constructive comment here on this post to point it out and do so with your own name and blog. If you want your own blog to be removed from any/all categories you can do so in the comment section or via email to contact < at > awards.ie. We will not however accept any private mails asking for blogs to be removed that are not your own.
Judging will start early next week. Congratulations to the nominees. Thank you to those that nominated so many blogs.

Well done to Cigars.ie for getting nominated.
This list is getting longer every year! Best of luck to all nominees.
Can’t wait to check out the winners – as the 24 hour day doesn’t allow for perusing all of these blogs!
Slight typo on link for me: hal9000.ie/blog
Thanks,
newbie
still cant quite believe the nomaintaion, well done to everyone else..hugs all round
So delighted to see so many craft blogs scattered among the list, equally happy to see mine included, too!
Maybe next year we can have an “Arts and Crafts” category? : D
Appreciate being nominated. Lots of high calibre company.
Thanks to organisers and sponsors – I know these things take a lot of work.

I’m probably being very pedantic, Damian, and about to bring wrath down about my ears, but I don’t believe the Well Done Fillet blog meets the criteria for eligibilty. It wasn’t active between the relevant dates. The posts there now are from one of the author’s other blogs.
I’m not suggesting for a minute that Manuel has inserted them for this purpose. After all, he’s already nominated several times in the same or other categories for his posts at the Coddle Pot blog, where he was actively posting. But other entrants in the same category might feel hard done by given that duplication.
I hope this will be regarded as constructive. I apologize in advance to Manuel if I’m wrong.
