Yes - the third annual weblog awards have been judged and the details are available at the link below. There are many categories to view and of course the pirze money is to die for….
From Wednesday, January 1, 2003 until 10:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (GMT-5) on Sunday, January 12, voters nominated their favorite weblogs.
On Thursday, January 16, a panel of 50 random voters received an e-mail. It listed the weblogs that received the most nominations. They had until 10:00 PM EST on Monday, January 20 to privately submit their five favorites (six for Weblog of the Year) for each category. The five (or six for Weblog of the Year) receiving the most votes became finalists. I (Nikolai Nolan) only voted in the case of a tie for fifth place.
On Tuesday, January 21, the finalists were announced and voting was open again to choose the winners.
Voting closed at 10:00 PM EST on Friday, January 31. The winners will be announced on Sunday, March 9. Why so late?
Yes, for the first time, the Weblog Awards? will have a ceremony. It’ll be held at the South by Southwest Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas, USA at 3:00 PM EST on Sunday, March 9.
