Fresh Voices!

This award celebrates the newbies in the blogging world. The blogger’s actual age doesn’t figure; rather it’s their fresh approach to blogging – with content, pictures, video and voice that makes the rest of us take notice.

Inspire!

These bloggers have a healthy attitude toward life and their enthusiasm encourages everyone around them. They are seen as leaders in their field and their inspiration is felt through the community.

Change!

Many bloggers have discovered they can use their voices and blogs for causes, raising awareness and funds, and being a force for positive change. Their topics might be global, local or personal. Whatever their cause, these bloggers did more than their bit, and helped us get involved too.

Tasty!

Have you ever read a blog and wanted to eat it? These bloggers have a knack for writing about food and love to share the knowledge.

Go!

Family travel blogging runs the gamut from round-the-world travelogues to just-down-the-road outings. Blogs in this category are passionate about travel and discovery and it shows, via pictures, evocative descriptions and a realistic perspective of travelling with kids.

Style!

To paraphrase Coco Chanel, a fashion blogger’s site should be two things: classy and fabulous. Bloggers in this category have no problem with either of those criteria. We believe being a parent adds an interesting dimension to fashion and beauty coverage – combining a world view with a catwalk view.

Snap!

These days you can shoot pictures for your blog on a DSLR, a point-and-shoot and your phone. In this category, it doesn’t matter which. What counts is the ability combine classic photography skills with an eye for creativity and an interest in harnessing the latest photo blogging tools.

Lit!

Most blogs have writing at their core. But some blogs feature writing that makes it hard to stop reading. Whether a blog reads like a compelling bestseller or gorgeous poetry, this award celebrates the words on the page.

Laugh!

Some posts makes you laugh out loud. Some make you smile wryly to yourself. This award celebrates humour and wit whatever form it takes. The best of these surprise the reader with a novel take on the trials of life or an unusual viewpoint, and not much is out of bounds.

Dad Blogger!

They’re a small but growing group of XYs among a sea of XXs, asking why should women have all the fun? Their perspective on parenting and life as a father reflects the larger societal shifts for men. These bloggers make that shift real, personal and compelling.

Outstanding!

This blogger stands out with entertaining, thought-provoking and heartfelt posts, hitting on all cylinders. Tone, engagement, reach, design…this blog grabs your attention and won’t let go.

Video!

The pen is mightier than the sword, but for some bloggers, the video camera rules. These bloggers make must-watch videos, sharing their opinions and innovating in of the blogging’s fastest expanding frontiers.
