JIB Awards – Finalizing the Categories

I would like to thank all of you once again for your insightful and helpful comments regarding the categories. Your willingness to discuss this earnestly has made it relatively easy to amend and adapt the categories based on your suggestions.

 

I aim to have the categories finalized by tomorrow at the latest, so the nominations process can begin next week (hopefully Sunday).

 

After taking into account all comments up until now, here is the updated categories list:

 

Best Overall Blog *
Best New Blog 2004 *
Best Group Blog *
Best Humor Blog *

Best Designed Blog *
Best Life in Israel Blog
Best Israel Advocacy Blog
Best Politics, Current Affairs, and Academia Blog
Best Personal Blog
Best Religion Blog
Best Jewish Culture Blog
Best Post by a Jewish Blogger
Best “Series” by a Jewish Blogger
Best of the Rest (for nominated blogs that do not really fit into their category)

 

As a general rule, I want to limit nominations for a blog to one category. The exceptions are:

Those categories marked with a *. A blog may be included in this category, as well as one of the other ones.

The last two categories, which relate to specific posts or series. Of course a blog nominated in another category can also have a post or series nominated in these ones.

 

(I will post the full set of nomination rules next week).

 

Tomorrow I will close the categories, so here is your final chance for category-related comments.

Note: This post will remain at the top of the page until the next JIB Awards Update.
