The Anime Blog Awards
With community unity amongst bloggers in the anime blogosphere in mind, the Anime Blog Awards was created in order to bridge that gap by recognizing worthy bloggers and their achievements in various fields ranging from episodic blogs to editorial blogs to blogs that make you laugh the best. Nominations will be until April 22nd with voting going from April 25th to June 1st. Anyone with an anime-centric blog created prior to February 1st, 2008 and a single post made in March 2008 are allowed to nominate, and nomnated blogs must have a minimum of five posts, one of which must be made between March 1st, 2008 to April 1st, 2008.
I’m not sure how effective these awards will be, for history has shown this kind of thing will more or less turn into a popularity vote, ultimately putting blogs and bloggers alike against each other for the spotlight. I’m sure we’re all well aware of which blogs are well known, and the last thing we need is drama to take away from the goal of the awards, for enough has been starting with ABC, which I just recently heard of. If I were to be honest, the ‘new blog spotlight’-esque post that THAT Anime Blog used to do (or is still doing, I haven’t been to the blog in a while) was much more effective in bringing to light anime blogs that weren’t so well known. I hope Impz and the team at THAT will continue that trend.
As for me, I know I have no chance in anything, but I’m looking foward to voting for fellow bloggers and checking out nominated blogs that I’ve never seen before. ‘Tis the whole point, after all. Good luck to everyone and happy voting!

I did a little nominating, but it was tough; some of the categories I have nothing to suggest. Who know’s, it’ll be interesting or obvious in the end ^^
Mm, some categories I have no clue xD But it’ll be nice to see the results. Maybe next time there’ll be more categories, for I know there are some that are quite interesting and unique and don’t fit well in any.
