Just browsing Twitter again and i found out about the Wales Blog Awards 2011. Now in its second year, the awards serve to recognise creative writing and blogs from within the Wales region.
Nominations are now open for people to vote. There's several different catagories and you can either nominate other blogs or go for the plunge and nominate yourself!! So i thought..sod it....why not... and have nominated my own blog!! (Will keep you updated if anything happens)
Over 100 blogs have already been nominated and the awards will take place on the 27th Oct at the Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff.
If you are interested in perhaps submitting your own blog, details of how to enter are here.
