The 2014 Bloggies awards are open for submissions until January 25th.

Categories for nominees are based on region (Asia, Africa, Europe, etc) as well as topics including Education, LGBT, Politics, Photography, etc plus such as “best writing of a blog”, “best community blog”, “best-kept secret” and “lifetime achievement”. You can also sign up to be one of the randomly selected voters who will choose the finalists…

A few rules:

• Any pages with dated entries that existed at some point during the year 2013 are eligible.
• Only one nomination ballot and one finalist ballot may be submitted per person.

The weblog winner, announced at the end of March, wins a rather nominal sum of 2,014 US cents and a bit of fun blogger fame.

You can follow the weblog awards twitter page @Bloggies and facebook to keep in touch.
