It’s that time of year again! Time for the Homeschool Blog Awards! This year, we not only have nominations, voting and awards coming up…. but we have a full-blown Homeschool Blog Awards site that is updated daily and has a crew of 15 wonderfully talented ladies who are working non-stop to keep the site bustling with activity, advice, and top-notch blogging.

We hope to have all our donation information in from our sponsors by the end of this week. Be checking in on the prize page to see as we add new items! If you are interested in giving, please be sure to get your info back to me quickly! Someone with the HSBA will make sure that you are added promptly to the vendor list in our sidebar and our prize page.

We changed up the teen categories, but the rest are mostly the same. Be taking notes as you surf the web of all your favorite bloggers and be ready to start nominating them next week. BEFORE you nominate, please read the detailed descriptions of the categories from last year. We had some questions about photo blogs and where they would fit in. I feel that they would fit neatly in the “Artistic Content” category - go read the description for yourself and see what you think. That category isn’t just for photos, though. Anyone who spends time making beautiful looking posts would qualify.
