2010 Wine Blog Awards: Nominations Now Open
By Kori ~ April 1st, 2010.
You, the reader, are the reason for our existence. We strive to be, “Your Link to Great QPR Wines from Washington State and Beyond.†Thank you for your continued support of Wine Peeps.
As a wine enthusiast (and I doubt that you would be visiting us or any other wine blog if you weren’t a wine enthusiast), we would like to urge you to participate in the fourth annual Wine Blog Awards that are now managed by the organizers of the North American Wine Bloggers Conference. These awards recognize the best the English-language wine blogging world has to offer.
The awards are currently taking nominations in various award categories (8 in all). Nominations will be taken until April 7th. It will only take a few minutes to make your nominations. Whether you nominate Wine Peeps or not, the main thing is to get as many worthy nominations for the awards as possible. However, if you believe that Wine Peeps is a worthy nominee, we would certainly appreciate your vote and support.
Click on the following award categories to make your nominations:
- Best Overall Wine Blog
- Best Wine Reviews on a Wine Blog
- Best Writing on a Wine Blog
- Best Single Subject Wine Blog
- Best Wine Blog Graphics, Photography, & Presentation
- Best Industry/Business Wine Blog
- Best Winery Blog
- Best New Wine Blog
The nominations for finalists in the different categories come from the public. Those nominees, assuming they meet basic criteria, will be handed off to a set of judges who will together choose finalists in each category. Once finalists are determined, the winners will be chosen based on a vote of the public and the judges, with each given 50% of the weight towards determining the winner in each category.
The awards will be presented live, for the first time, on Friday, June 25th at the North American Wine Bloggers Conference in Walla Walla, Washington.
