Irish blog awards - go boardsies!

If you looksie here you'll see that our very own Rymus, DarrenG, Calina and Latchiko have made it into the shortlist for the best photo blog! Yay

Now, how do we sway the voting so you all get something?

Fajitas!

Good going lads!

rymus

nope... they've axed the public vote this year in favour of a panel of judges. I'm not hugely excited about it really.. dont expect to win anything. I think this is the third year running that both myself and Calina have been shortlisted. Glad to see Darren and Latchiko up there this year though! Err.. even if they can't seem to spell Darren's name properly

Fair play everyone

Calina

I can't remember if I made the shortlist in Photoblog last year actually. I know I got the longlist nom but I don't think I got through the public vote at the time (which would imply I'm sort of glad the public vote didn't happen this year).

Anyways, some very nice (new to me) blogs there so worth a look anyway.

I’ve just bookmarked these sites, they look great.
Good luck guys, it’s nice to see that the blogs are kept up to date (I find that the hardest part). Will be checking in from now on.

Congrats!! Who are the judges? Anyone know?

I have to say I was suprised to see my name on the long list let alone the short list, so big thanks to the people who nominated me

From reading the other sites it looks like the list will be narrowed down again to 10 before March 1st and having seen the other photo blogs, I will be bowing out gracefully before the final 10, for sure.

latchiko

It's great to make the short list, I wasn't expecting it and I'm sure this will be as far as it goes judging by the quality of the other photoblogs in the list. Although it is nice to be in such good company!

I think that the judges are random people who volunteered to help out. Although that may only have been for whittling down the longlist.

Setting a photoblog up isn't difficult - there are a lot of free sites out there to get you up and running - the difficult part is content. Keeping the photoblog regularly updated can be a lot of work. But it can be a great motivator to get out and about with the camera.

Good luck everyone
