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:
THE GOVERNMENT EDITION

Most likely to be Voted President of the Blogosphere

Most Likely to be turned into the FTC for profanity violations
Most Likely to pull a Blogger-Gate

Most Likely to Streak the White House Lawn
Most Likely to stand up for Womens Rights
Individual Titles:

———————————————————————————–
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)

One little incident of fraud, one puking incident, one accidentally flashed boob, one party crashing and I’m suddenly a threat to the saftey of the country and blogosphere? You people have really jumped to conclusions! LMAO
LOL..but, has the FBI ever been to your house? Were you arrested on a Felony Weapons charge? (later to be released of course and charges dropped) Did you almost go to jail for your purse and had a cop so scared that his hand remained on his gun as he requested to see your purse that you purchased from Hot Topic? LMAO! Oh and medicated for choking some drunk girl…hahaha…my life!
I nominate Alba at independentmami for The John Lennon Award that goes to the Nicest blogger

I nominate Stacie at The Divine Miss Mommy for The John Lennon Award. Stacie is such a sweetie and fun to chat with. She has a beautiful blog and I love her story about how she got her blog name.

LOL I like that Shan is up for mouthiest blogger and I’ve been able to fly under that radar.
That’s only because they don’t have a category for Most Likely To be Surveilled by The Men In Black., Amanda.
LOL Shan. If they have nothing better to do than watch my blog, then we as a country have much larger issues at hand.
Hmmm…Shan, you are right. You need the Michel Moore award and Tiff@ BabesAndKids should be Most Likely To Demand A Recount!
I hereby officially change those two nominations!
