The SA Blog Awards
Started in 2005, the SA Blog Awards has created a platform for different South African blogs to get their name out there and compete with other SA blogs.
The SA Blog Awards is run by new CEO JP Naude, stalwart Chris Rawlinson and Huddlemind CEO Dave Duarte, with ad-hoc technical development and assistance from Miguel dos Santos.
The Blog Awards have 3 phases to them:
1. Nomination Phase – 2nd Aug to 27 Aug
This determines the top ten in each category, the blogs with the most nominations in each category move forward in the competition. This stage is open to public and bloggers.
2. Public Vote phase
The top 10 of each category gets a spot on the SA Blog Awards website, as well as a custom widget which they can add to their blog. Anyone can vote.
3. The Judges Phase
The judging panel will be shown the number of public votes for each of the blogs in the relevant categories, as well as relevant site stats from Afrigator, Alexa and Google where available. Judges will vote for their allocated category/categories.
Judges will then be asked to vote for the winner of the SA Blog of The Year award from the winners of the 24 categories.
Judges votes count for 30% of the category section (70% from the public),and 100% for the SA Blog of The Year, they are asked to take the public vote into consideration for all categories, as well as SA Blog of The Year.
