2009 Okie Blog Awards
Okiedoke is pleased to announce the presentation of the
This year’s Awards will be coordinated by Jennifer, author of the Oklahoma blog jenx67. Jen has not only graciously volunteered to facilitate the 2009 Awards, but just as importantly, promises to breathe new life into them. For example:
If you start a blog in 2009, you will be eligible to compete in the 2009 Okie Blog Awards! Moreover, you might have a shot at an award category that is doing very well in the current poll on this site: Best New Blog 2009. What a fun award to win – one that bloggers who had a site prior to January 1, 2009, can’t win!
Of course, some things will remain the same:
The purpose of the awards is to recognize the hard work and talent of Oklahoma bloggers, as well as to raise awareness about the growing significance of blogs as important sources of news, information and entertainment
Many of the improvements will depend largely on the Oklahoma blogging community itself. Folks can take a brief survey, via email, to help determine categories for the 2009 Okie Blog Awards as well as possible changes in the selection process. Or simply choose from a list of possible categories in an online poll.
It’s all at the official Okie Blog Awards blog.
I hope all Okies (and Oklahomans) will join me in supporting Jen in not just continuing the tradition of the Okie Blog Awards, but making them better than ever.
In solidarity,
Mike Hermes
