Each year, the mighty bloggers of BlogAsheville come together for a uproarious night of celebration, congratulation, and community. The 3rd Annual Extravablogiversapaloozathon is going to be the biggest bash yet. With over 130 bloggers on the roll and lots of love from area techies, artists, and businessfolk, we expect to invite well over 200 people to tip their glasses to our collective efforts.
September 27th, 6pm – late, downtown Asheville
We’ll be letting details about the party trickle out over the next couple of weeks, but the very exciting centerpiece of the bloggy bacchanal is the BlogAsheville Awards. You can see 2006 results here and 2007 results here.
Here’s how the 2008 Awards will work:
– Nominations will open today in the various categories
– You can nominate any BlogAsheville blogroll blog
– You can nominate yourself
– Any BlogAsheville reader can make nominations
– A blog can be nominated for multiple categories
– Smart people will link to the blogs they nominate
– Nominations will remain open until September 10th at 1:34pm
– You can copy and paste the list of categories into the comments and go through them all, or just pick and choose the ones you’d like.
– If you don’t want to leave your nominations in the comments, you can email them to me at scrutinyhooligans AT yahoo DECIMAL com
– Please post something at your home blog letting folks know that the nominations are up.
On September 12ish (primarily because anything done on September 11th is inherently creepy for the foreseeable future), I’ll post the list of nominees, and folks can get to voting.
Here are your categories:
