Hi everyone, Katie here.
Pssssst...did you hear?
Nominations are officially open for the 2012 BlogPaws Nose-to-Nose Social Media Pet Blogging Awards! It's the ONLY awards program where pet bloggers (and pet people who "microblog" on Facebook and Twitter) are judged by a panel of distinguished professionals on their expertise, creativity and performance in one or more of TWELVE categories. That's a whole dozen different awards!
ANYONE can nominate and ANYONE can win! You can nominate as many different bloggers as you'd like in as many categories as you like. You can even nominate yourself! About the only thing you can't do is nominate a dog for the Best Cat Blog. ha!

One of the coolest things about these awards is that you don't have to choose between one, two, three... blogs. You can nominate ALL of your faves and let the judges decide. You can nominate as many blogs as you want AND you can nominate blogs in more than one category. It's not a popularity contest either. It doesn't matter if a blog has 1 nomination or 100 nominations. They will all be judged equally.
We've got SO many awesome blogging furriends...we can't WAIT to get started!
Oh my cod, there are so many pawsome blogs out there! We think you and Glogirly will be nominated many times!
ReplyDeleteWow. Maybe Pricilla should have a go at it

ReplyDeleteCallie
Oooooh we just saw these today! As newbies to the pet blogging world (Life with Arie is less than a year old, and Arie herself is only two!) we were ecstatic to find the BlogPaws community.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to nominate some of the fantastic blogs I love for awards!
That's sooo pawesome! Mommy! Get ready to type! *pulls out list* I'll dictate...
ReplyDeleteI like that the winners are decided by judges and not a popularity contest. Seems fairer that way. Now I'll have to get busy with nominations!
ReplyDeleteWhat's great this year is it's not a "vote for me" popularity contest. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteBetter get on the ball and get started. xox TOK
ReplyDeleteSounds really fun! There are so many great blogs out there. Truly. Everyone deserves a prize for all we collectively bring to one another :)
ReplyDeletethe critters in The Cottage xo
I agree with Critters in the Cottage, we all deserve a prize. Just popping by right now, but I'll have a better look at this next week.
ReplyDeleteI'm so over these things after I lost Best Blog at the ACCC Awards to a dog who blogs once a month and doesn't comment on anyone else's blog. Best of luck to everyone else.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! We will have to start thinking of all the blogs we want to nominate.
ReplyDeleteWe're gonna nominate all of our furiends!
ReplyDeleteSo cool! We love your GIF lessons too, we will try our paw at that when we get a chance!
ReplyDeleteOMC! There are SO MANY to nominate! OF course, we have to ask: Is it the HUMANS who will get all grabby with taking the credit or will be Kittehs be given our due credit????
ReplyDeleteThat's pawsome!!!!
ReplyDeleteYep, lots of good blogs out there. Will be interesting to see who wins this year.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be hard because it's hard to choose. I'd better sleep on it for tonight,.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! We love that it's an independent panel vs. popularity contest. Will be very exciting to see what is judged best so that can help us all make better bloggies!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! Thank you for letting us know. Now we're off to get busy with some nominating! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day, Katie and Glogirly.
Hugs!
How exciting! We'll have to stop by.
