Next year’s UK Blog awards are now open! Woohoo. It was such a great event last year (and I actually won something for the first time ever) that I thought you all might like to know a bit more about them….
Last year 2,500 individual and company blogs were entered into the UK Blog Awards, whereas this year, especially with ODEON Cinemas confirmed as their headline sponsored they are expecting a far greater number of entries.
There will also be a total of 16 industry categories this year, an increase of 25% from last year for both individual professionals and companies, plus two major additional awards up for grabs for the Most Innovative Blog and a dedicated Headline Award. This year there are also four new categories, Dating, Vlogger & Podcast, Photography and Green & Eco.
Gemma Newton nee Pears, Managing Director said “as the founder of these awards, I am thoroughly looking forward to seeing an increase in recognition for so many industry professionals who blog, both individually and as a company. Year on year, content creation and blogging is becoming more entwined in the media landscape and this is a fantastic opportunity to recognise and celebrate all this talent and knowledge”.
The theme of this year’s UK Blog Awards is “Best Of British” and you can enter your own blog or nominate a blog at www.blogawardsuk.co.uk with entries closing on Tuesday 15th December 2015 at 10.30pm.
The winners will ultimately be recognised for their social media achievements through blogging and celebrated as experts in their field at an exceptional awards evening in April.
