It's been brought to my attention that Robert McClelland of My Blahg is running the 2004 Canadian Blog Awards this year. Nominations are now open until December 31st in 8 categories.

1)Best Blog
2) Best Liberal Blog
3) Best Conservative Blog
4) Best Group Blog
5) Most Humourous Blog
6) Best Non-Political Blog
7) Best New Blog (started in 2004)
8) Best Blog Design

Voting will begin January 1, 2005 and will close January 15, 2004.

Thanks to James Bow for putting in a nominating for my site and for the gtabloggers.com site. I'm really flattered with what James wrote. And I have to agree with James, I think there could have been a couple more categories especially on the artsy side of blogging.

There are definitely enough contenders that Best Photoblog, Best Music Blog and maybe even best Topical blog could have easily been added to the list. This is definitely more focused within the political blogging circles, but the awards is open to all Canadians.

So I'm urging everyone, put in a nomination for your favorites. Hopefully that will include either gtabloggers or Toronto Area Photobloggers in the Best Group category.
