Can you believe it’s shortlist time already? No, me either. Time goes fast when you’re having fun, judging a billion blogs and generally having a ball on Twitter on the #BloggersBlogAwards tag. Once again we have partnered up with the fab Jewellery Box to bring you this years awards, and it’s bigger and better than ever. We trended on Twitter when the first round of votes opened, and we’ve had over 2000 blogs nominated across the categories. So, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for supporting the awards, sending such lovely and encouraging tweets, and most of all for taking part and nominating your favourites. It’s been lovely to see everyone coming together and sharing the love – my favourite part has been seeing people not knowing who to vote for in a particular niche and others giving them recommendations of a few blogs to check out to start their research. Because of this I have again embedded the ‘tweet that you’ve voted’ function to the bottom of the post, which sends out a tweet to say you have voted, along with the #.
Before we begin the reveal and the voting please, please, PLEASE do not just vote for the person you speak to the most on Twitter, or the person you know well. Please take a little time to check out all the blogs in the category and decide which one fits the most, which one offers the best of that niche and which one truly deserves to win – trust me it’s worth the time as there’s some gems in there. I want this to be about the best of the best when it comes to blogs, and not a popularity contest. If you need a little help narrowing down your vote, then here are the sections that the judges had to consider when scoring the blogs:
buy generic viagra without a doctor prescription usa BLOG STYLE – Layout, design & ease of use

order cheap generic cialis online canadian pharmacy PERSONALITY – Does the writing show you the blogger?

CONSISTENCY – Do they upload regularly and consistently
VOTING RULES
- All entries must be submitted by 11.59am (GMT) on 10th September 2017
- Only 1 vote per person (this is monitored & any suspicion of vote manipulation will result in all suspicious votes being discounted
You can find the form to vote at the end of the post, just before the tweet function. Oh, FYI you don’t need to vote in every category either; vote in 1 or vote in 12, it’s up to you.
