2010 Nominations Later This Year

We get emails from readers asking when they can nominate their favourite Canadian blogs. Nominations typically open in October or November, and we’ll post a more exact date as we get more organized closer to that time.

We can’t give a more exact date because the CBA’s don’t have a rigid command structure, and exist solely on the basis of volunteerism and unicorn farts. Unless you know of some gassy unicorns, we could possibly use your eager effort in whatever way your talents offer. Leave a comment for us to return your message, or email us.

A Frequently Wondered Question

Q.

Just curious… how does your organization go about finding, then selecting the best Canadian blogs???

It seems to me, like Telefilm Canada, a lot of dregs are selected, and the others which are far more worthy (again like Telefilm Canada) are left out in the cold I’m just curious as to how some of these blogs are selected to be “the best” and by whom?

Personal & Overall Up

We have received the polls for the Personal and Overall categories and have put them up for your voting pleasure.

Sorry For The Voting Delay; Overall & Personal Still Delayed

Sorry for the delay in voting. We have been facing a bit of a technical problem.

Since the biggest categories (Overall and Personal) require a customized poll from the polling service, it takes longer than usual to receive those completed polls. We were hoping to receive them by this Sunday, when that didn’t happen, we went for a short delay for the purpose of releasing of all of polls out at once.

However, it is now Tuesday, so what we have decided to do is release all of the other completed polls and get Overall and Personal up as soon as possible.

The schedule has changed as follows:

First Round: December 1 – December 12
Second Round: December 13 – December 19

Sorry for this and thanks for your understanding.
