The Contestants
Everyone who has a blog and has retained their amateur blog status may participate. That is, contestants are not eligible if they have been nominated for a Bloggie, or if they participated in any of the Summer Olympic Blogging Games. No drug tests will be required. I am well aware that all of you are blood doping.
The Procedure
Please email your nominations (one in each category you wish to vote for) to HeatherAnneHogan[at]Gmail[dot]com with the Subject: Hoagies. (Update: Please include URL. Whew.)
Voting will remain open until midnight EST on 11.03.06.
On Election Day 11.07.06, the top three vote-getters from each category will be posted. You will be able to vote for your favorite. Voting will close on 11.09.06. Winners will be announced on 11.10.06.
The Stash
All winners will receive a turkey-crested trophy, inscribed with their accomplishment, as well as one (1) package of Jelly Belly jelly beans and one (1) one-dollar bill.
Everyone who participates in the nomination process will be entered into a drawing for an Amazon Gift Card.
FAQ
How can I spread the word?
On your blog.
Can I nominate myself?
Of course!
Can I nominate you?
No.
Why should I participate in this silly game?
Because it’s fun and you have a chance to win candy.
This is the stupidest idea you have ever had.
No, it’s not. One time I ran with hedge-clippers and almost lost my arm.
Can I email you with any other questions or if I have John Mayer tickets to give you?
You know you can, baby.
