I recieved an email today telling me I have been nominated in the ‘Best of Brit Blog Awards’ in the Sports section.

‘The Best of Brit Blog Awards 2007™(BOBBs) launched on the 22nd February to find and reward the UKs most talented writers on the blogosphere. Ask.com, one of the UKs leading internet search engines, has teamed up with a number of celebrity judges including Alan McGee and Channel 5s Jason Bradbury to launch this initiative and get Britain blogging.

You can check out what the competition is all about here

The awards are split into eight popular categories; Fashion, Travel, Sport, Politics, Art and Entertainment, Technology, Youth (under 18s) and the Weird and Wonderful (to be decided by a public vote). Each category will be judged by a panel of celebrity judges from each field. Confirmed judges include:

    Congratulations! I’m off to see if us Yanks can vote, but no, it’s a judged thing.

    Well, at least your name is similar to your judge’s. That’s got to count for something… 😎
