Eolai has created some nice Nominated Logos.

As has Davy.

If you create your own and want to share them, please do.

(Please note that this list contains most nominations but not all nominations, some seem to have gotten lost in the ether so we’ll try and dig them out. When we do, we’ll add them into the system.)

This is not the long list and it is not the short list, this is the Nominations List. Every one of these blogs will now be sent forward for judging. After this, a longlist will be released, followed by a short list. The winners will be announced on February 21st. As you go through the lists you might spot blogs that do not fit into the category they are listed in e.g. A blog about Monster Trucks in the Best Music Blog Category. Please let us know via email, not the nominee. Email is contact < at > awards.ie

Update: Thanks to Paul for turning the text into links. People have also asked to have their blog removed from nomination from certain or all categories. Again, send an email.

Best Blog Post

Another post with Blog Post nominees will follow shortly

You can apply here to be a judge for the 2009 Blog Awards. We need judges, lots and lots of them, like dozens. Every blog that is nominated gets judged and the more that judge each blog, the better. A few rules apply but the biggest one is common sense. Judging will start in the next few days. If you’re nominated you can be a judge, yes, you’ll just not judge your competitors.

Today is the last day (few hours in fact) to nominate blogs for the 2009 Blog Awards. If you haven’t seen the 100s of mentions of it in the past few weeks well now is your last opportunity.

In addition, we opened up registrations for the event itself well before Christmas and we are now booked out. Not even standing room is left. There is room in the hotel itself to cater for a few hundred more people but the conference hall where the ceremony is on cannot hold any more people. You can still add yourself to the waiting list but there is no guarantee you will be accomodated.

Once nominations close, we’ll be releasing the list of nominees and then each nomination will be examined, then a short list will be brought out. Then the winners will be announced on the 21st of February.

The Blog Post of the Month for December is from Haydn Shaughnessy and is called The Privileges of Communication Haydn points out how luck we are to be able to get our views heard on blogs and Twitter and elsewhere. Compare this to just 10 years ago. In a world where we take all this for grant, it’s a nice reminder. Congrats Haydn.

Don’t forget there’s still time to nominate posts for January.
