Awards

 

about-avatar-awards/

This year for MY Awards show, I will also be nominating (likely separate from the ones below) blogs to win my ‘award’.

My award is not like  a chain letter, passed around the community  as a list of  our favorites  blogs. I and I alone (though I accept suggestions) decide the Nominations and esp. the winner. Like with regular Award shows there are categories like favorite Blog, Inspirational, Travel, and more as it is a TRUE award and not  like the ones below.  as I decide who the Noms are I will likely contact ‘you’ if you are.  You will find out if you won and for what category when the Awards are ‘aired’ (likely I will also include a ‘ticket’ for you to show you are a nominee, or it will be noted on the Avatar Awards about Page

(No matter the type it IS always nice and and honor to be recognized by your readers especially when you are new to blogging and

you get one within a few months!)
