  • Irish Blog Awards Nominations – Have You Made Yours?

    Irish Blog Awards - morning tea following the 2008 IBAs in Dublin

    The nominations are still open for the 2009 Irish Blog Awards, but not for much longer with 6pm Wednesday the deadline to get your nominations in.

    Guilty as charged, I’ve yet to make my own but they’ll be in for this evening. The night recognises the talents and voices of the Irish blogging community across all genres. In the past I’ve been lucky enough to see nominations for some of my blogs in Best Technology, Best Music and have nominations in one or two other categories as well.

    But it’s not just about technology or music, there’s the arts, business, pop culture, photography and a whole lot more.

    The awards themselves are changing location this year. After three years in Dublin (having made the road trip the last two years) I’ll find myself driving to Cork and this great venue for the awards. Having experience two years at the Blog Awards and a fantastic night at the Irish Web Awards in October, the real fun of the night isn’t competely in the awards ceremony itself but in the craic before and afterwards (and all through the night).

    In saying that, I’ve booked into the hotel already so there’ll be no looking for Burger King at 2am.

    I’m looking forward to the night, catching up with those I’ve not seen or spoken to in a while and hopefully get the chance to match even more faces to names from the web. Hit the awards as often as you like, when there’s a few hundred people in the room it can be tricky to talk to everyone you want to!

    Nip along to Awards.ie and get your nominations in before Wednesday.

  • Irish Web Awards Nominations Close Tonight

    The deadline for getting nominations in for the inaugural Irish Web Awards is tonight, August 29th at 23:59. Typically I’ve left my decision making until the last minute but I’ll be submitting my nominations before the deadline passes. While registration to attend the awards night itself has yet to open, there’s still the opportunity to step in as a sponsor for one of the categories like Best Education Website, Best School Website, Best Practice, Best Videocaster etc.

    (Note: those categories may well be sponsored at this stage).

    However, you can learn about sponsorship opportunities for the awards here.

    Time to get the thinking cap on…
