That’s right, its that time of year again!!!
If you are new to our site or haven’t participated before, 2 times a year MomDot runs our version of blogger awards, which we call The Dotties. Every year we theme the awards to make them a lot more fun to play along. Who cares about “best blog ever in the universe”, we want to hand you guys some REAL titles worth bragging about.
PAST AWARDS
- The 1st awards were School Themed (biggest nerd, etc). You can see the results of those winners here.
- The 2nd Dottie Awards were themed Movie Awards (best supporting blogger, etc). You can see the results of those winners HERE.
In light of all the fun gov intervention, this year the theme will be:

———————————————————————————–
Rules:
- You must have at least THREE nominations in order to be entered into a category, so get your blog buds to come support you!
- You may nominate yourself.
- I have the right to restrict how many bloggers are in each category and will most likely do that if a category gets over 10. If that happens, that top 10 with the most nominations will go head to head for the voting. So its important to try to get OVER 3 nominations for you.
Nominations
- Nominations will run from Thursday October 8th till Friday October 16th.
- Nominations go right in the COMMENTS in THIS thread. No nominations via email or twitter will be accepted.
- Make sure you add the BLOG URL of the person you are nominating and what category you are nominating them for. Please note that we have moderation on LINKS to protect ourselves from spam. If you don’t see your comment, I will get it out of moderation next time I log in. No need to re-add it.
- While MomDot (trisha) appreciates nominations, I will not be adding my name into ANY categories during voting week. Thanks for thinking of me though.
VOTING
- The Voting will begin on Monday the 19th and end on Saturday the 24th ( 6 days)
- If any category receives less than 3 bloggers, I have the right to toss it.
- You may beg, borrow, buy, or steal votes. We don’t care how you get them. So no whiners coming to me and saying “she gave extra entries on her contest for votes, that isn’t fair”. This is a BLOGGER competition.
- Winners will be announced near or on 26th (depending on how long it takes to tally)
Prizing
- GLORY BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- We are actually working on a prize. We haven’t given them out in the past though. If it comes through, it will go to the person with the MOST VOTES out of all categories during voting week. I will update during voting week.
( this thread will be updated w/ the graphics shortly that you can put on your site as they are made)
