1. Nominate as many blogs as you wish.

You may nominate as many unique blogs and blog hosts as you like. (Forums, static websites, non-blog news sites, and mass linking websites are not blogs.) Keep in mind that your username and avatar will display on the Blogger's Choice Awards for all sites that you nominate.

2. Each site may be nominated only once.

You may nominate each individual blog in up to four categories. (Celebrity bloggers may be limited to the Celebrity category only to keep voting fair in the other categories.) Duplicate nominations will be removed, as well as individual pages or sections within blogs, URLs that forward to other blogs already in the system, and nominations for sites that are not blogs (including nominations for pages at the Blogger's Choice Awards website).

3. Nominations must fit the category.

There are myriad categories to choose from, so make sure you choose categories (up to 4) that best fit the topics covered in the blog you're nominating. Blogs whose contents do not fit within a category may be removed from that category without notice.

4. Vote for as many blogs as you wish.

You may vote only once per blog, per category. We are monitoring IP addresses as well, so no funny business! We reserve the right to remove offending votes from the system if cheating is suspected.

5. R-e-s-p-e-c-t.

We encourage everyone to participate in the comment forums for each nomination. However, we do monitor comments and reserve the right to remove comments that contain any of the following: (1) offensive language, (2) personal attacks, insults, etc, whether toward a blog's author or toward other users, (3) encouraging others to cheat, (4) using comments as a way to drive votes for other areas of the site, (5) comments completely unrelated to the blog they are being posted under.

6. Create only one account.

Cheating makes puppies cry. Really. Think of the puppies.

7. Pimp your blog.

We give every nomination a bit of swag to put on their site to point people to their nomination page at Blogger's Choice. (It's hidden in the 'Get Code' link next to 'Brag Badge'). Feel free to use that button on your blog, call your cousins in Sopchoppy, Florida, send the link to all your friends, or otherwise beg mercilessly for votes.
