I did initially want this, but it will be difficult for the following reasons:

1. There are apparently at least 30,000 Israeli blogs in hebrew!

2. How do different language blogs “go head to head” against each other?

I am open to suggestions how to overcome this.

Pickled herring for the winners, and chopped liver for everyone else.The nomination restriction is purely a matter of practicality. I am going to have my hands full as it is; it will be virtually impossible to manage the nominations and votes otherwise.Also, once again bear in mind the publicity aim of the awards. As long as a blog appears, with its link, even once, then this aim is achieved. The competitive and "winning" parts of these awards adds a fun element, but is not the ultimate goal. Good idea.

And since this is like a Jewish thing, how can you possibly not have a food related category? As in best food related post or something. Every other Jewish thing has a big food element in it, why not this? Especially since, as I understand it, there will be no awards ceremony, nor will there be any pickled herring. Feh. Oh!
