…And Here Are The Categories
By Maurice | 3 comments
3So after months of asking for input from the community, as well as conducting our own research (like our SXSW panel and our internal Category Popularity Matrix), we are pleased to announce the new categories for this year’s 2010 Black Weblog Awards.
(Or if you want to cheat and skip ahead, just go to the Categories page.)
Nominations and New Categories

3We have gotten a lot of e-mail about when nominations are beginning, as well as questions about this year’s categories. We will be making an announcement next week about both of these, so stay tuned. In the meantime, keep giving us your ideas for new categories. Thanks!
New Categories for 2010…Suggestions?
By Maurice | 3 comments
3As we gear up for the 2010 Black Weblog Awards here at BWA HQ, we want to know what categories you think should be included for this year. Right now, we have an impressive stable of 31 categories (!), but the bloggers themselves know what’s hot, what’s not, and what needs to be recognized. Speak up and let us know what you want included as a category in this year’s Awards.
The comment box is open. Let’s hear it!
2009 BWA Postmortem

2Another year, another Black Weblog Awards has come and gone. This is the fifth year we’ve put on these Awards, and every time, I learn something new. The blogosphere is changing for us, and we are definitely changing the blogosphere in many ways. I think that was definitely reflected in this year’s winners and in our finalists.
New Rules and Categories for 2009 BWAs
By Maurice | 2 comments
2We like to change things up a bit every year, and this year is no exception. We have a few new rules and new categories, so listen up!
Rules
Like we stated before, we lifted that “you can’t nominate your own blog” rule. Now, blog owners can easily nominate their own blog through our simple process. When you’ve completed it, you will receive a unique link for your blog that will allow other to vote for you for the finalist round!
Next up, we’ve changed the duration of the Awards just a bit. Nominations this year start on June 20 and end on July 25, which will give you plenty of time to get your nomination in AND have people vote for them. Finalist voting has also been lengthened, and now runs the entire month of August. Winners are announced on September 4.
There’s also a new rule out there for those repeat winners. Blogs that have won a particular category at least three times are no longer eligible to win for that particular category. This includes blogs that have won either the Judges’ and/or Popular vote for their category. We’ll go into more detail about this, since several categories have changed names over the years.
Categories
Based on growing demand, we have added the following four categories for this year:
- Best Health and Wellness Blog
- Best Microblog
- Best Parenting and Family Blog
- Best Sex and Relationships Blog
Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to the following categories based on decreasing activity:
- Best Blog Community
- Best Celebrity Blog
- Best Fictional Blog
Categories always come and go, and we’re always gauging category popularity based on demand and user activity; we’re always taking suggestions on new categories, so feel free to speak up (just don’t demand it).
That’s what’s new for this year! Nominations end on July 25.
