Last year Avant Garde Bloggies Awards (2008) was very popular. It had a huge participation; so much that it had to be conducted with the help of a small, dedicated team (whom I can never stop thanking enough): 🙂 The Scrutinizing Committee, the Publicist, the Badge Designer, the Poll Manager and of course the Judges.
This is the list of award categories for which nominations were invited. Before taking the plunge into such a mammoth and busy affair, I would like to know your opinion:
Taking lessons from the last year event, there will be some necessary changes this year. For example, multiple nomination by same person in a category will not be allowed. Voting will be available for lesser duration. Award categories maybe overhauled. And more changes, if required.
Similarly, in case you want to suggest any changes in Avant Garde Bloggies Awards, if conducted this year, let us know in the comments section. Thank you!
P.S: Oh, and here is a promotion video from last year created by Nikhil.

Yes! I remember when I started blogging in December last year, I saw many bloggers discussing about it and then I reached your blog through one of them.
I also loved the badges created by Chirag.
Go ahead it was fun last year and will be fun again this year 🙂
Why the question mark Poonam? I had almost forgotten it! I will love to read and vote [and maybe nominate myself as well]! I wish Indiblogger were supporting this!
So its coming up, huh? Why do you need a poll ? Just start ! and you would find people volunteering and participating themselves !! 😀 😀 😀
I told u… Just start it girl, Main Hoon Na!!! Muhahahahah…
That’s an awesome video! Best of luck with the awards.
Sure sure! I couldn’t participate (not even vote/nominate) last time. Would love to be involved this time!
yes. we should have the awards this year as well.
yup!
thums up !!

Poonam,
I think this is a terriffic idea. When I got back to my blogging I chanced on these awards and read the posts nominated. Lovely stuff – you should definitely go for it and please let me know if any help warranted from us.
good to see you getting back in the mood!
Wow, has it been almost a year, Poonam! I guess it has. I remember it well. It was fabulous to see the video again. It is itself award-winning. So many great images.
I am happy to support this project.
voted for a yes! 😛
and poonam i am telling you before hand. this time i too want to help out so please count me on the list of volunteers.
hehe….its like oscars for the blogging world 😛
Hello but could you explain “multiple Nominations by the same person in a category” thing…
Does it mean ” multiple posts by the same author”
or a person nominating “multiple posts by different authors”
Bring on the glitz and glamor in the blogging world 🙂
😀 😀 😀
So much fun ! I hope you do it again soon !!! 🙂
