The closing date for entries to the the third annual Blog Awards Ireland is next Friday, 11 July.
This year awards will be presented in 32 categories including fashion & beauty, lifestyle, diaspora, Irish language, politics, best blog of a journalist and Best Blog of an SME. This year also sees the addition of a parenting category.
Last year Blog Awards Ireland saw 3,000 nominations with over 800 individual blogs making it to the long list.
Amanda Webb, founder of Spiderworking.com and co-founder of Blog Awards Ireland, said: “In Ireland we are avid bloggers… Bloggers are writing books and people are reading them. My co-founder Lorna Sixsmith has become a bit of a minor celebrity thanks to the book she wrote as a result of her personal blog, Irish Farmerette.
“Blogging will also shape history. I can imagine historians raking through the stories of our lives as told by us.”
In honour of the 30th anniversary of the World Wide Web, this year’s event will have an 80s theme.
Blog Awards Ireland will take place at the Westgrove Hotel, Clane, Co. Kildare on 4 October 2014. Nominations can be made at http://www.blogawardsireland.com/nominate/.
