Presenting the Group A category nominees
Posted on May 24, 2010 | Good Naija Girl | 64 Comments
We’re happy to present the nominees for the 30 categories of Group A. Please note that the nominated blogs are listed in alphabetical order.
According to the schedule, voting begins on May 31, so if you are nominated, you have a week to charm and bribe your friends into voting for you. If you aren’t nominated, you can think of ways to sell your vote to the highest bidder, or start thinking of how to make sure you get nominated when Group B categories are revealed!
Unfortunately we did not have five blogs nominated for Best Health and Fitness Blog and Best Travel Blog categories. Let’s hope that isn’t the case next year!
The nominees:
- Best Beauty Blog

I am sharing the Ego Du Jour campaign speech as published yesterday on my blog.
Dear Blogsville residents, the time has come to determine who will win Best New Blog and Best Designed Blog at the 2010 Nigerian Blog Awards. Our forefathers fought hard for this day. A day when bloggers could unite and have the right to vote for their favorites. A day when one female blogger named EDJ 6-pack (no relation to Joe 6-pack) can rise up, design her own blog–even though she could have used one of those downloadable blogger themes–and have her efforts recognized by the masses. A day when this same blogger is rewarded for the time she has spent writing blog posts that are interesting, provocative, personal, funny, and sometimes all of those things and more. A day when you can reward her efforts by making Ego Du Jour the Best Designed Blog and Best New Blog winner.
Do not let this day pass you by. It is the day that the Lord has made and it is marvelous in our eyes (shameless pandering to the religious voters). Some of you may be wondering why you should vote for me. You should vote for me because it is the right thing to do. It is what Jesus would do. It is what Justin Beiber would do. Gosh darn it, it is what Obama would do. In fact, ask not why you should vote for EDJ, ask why you shouldn't!
A vote for me is a vote for excellence, a vote for awesomeness, in fact the most important vote you will make in coming weeks. Do not be swayed by the other blogs in these categories. The choice is clear–Ego Du Jour.
Campaign donations are welcome.

Hello,
I have always wondered about the criteria for selection in the Nigerian Blog Awards.
In particular, I am interested in how for the Best Political Blog, a blog that has not published since September 2010 qualifies for the 2011 awards.
Whilst I am not a self-publicist by any stretch of the imagination, I am however glad that NigerianTalks is recognised.
Last year, I remember raising another issue about the standard and criteria for selection when Grandfather blog was considered ones that had been publishing for just 2 years and many of those consistently publishing for over 4 years and mine for over 6 did not have a look in.
I will however commend improvements that have recognised NaijaBlog in your main categories where before you had to fudge an inclusion category to laud a very Nigerian blog, albeit written by a Englishman living in Nigeria.
I cannot say I recognise most of the blogs being nominated so it goes without saying that mine would be not noticed by the crowd that makes up the nominations for the awards.
Regards,
Akin Akintayo
