2011 Awards

Below is an outline of the 2011 Wine Blog Awards process:

• The awards are open to any English-language wine blog located anywhere in the world.
• The awards will be presented live at the North American Wine Bloggers Conference, July 23 in Charlottesville, Virginia.
• The nomination period will start two months before the conference and run May 25-31, 2011. Nominations are open to the public and will be made via this website. Each blog nominated for a category will be included in the selection process; additional nominations for a blog in the same category will have no effect, so once a blog is nominated for a category there is no reason to nominate it again.
• A panel of expert judges will evaluate all the nominated blogs for each category during the period June 1 – June 20 and will select the top five blogs in each category. These judges are all volunteers and put in loads of hours reviewing the many nominated blogs.
• The public will be given the opportunity to vote for the finalists of each category from June 21 – 27.
• Each category winner will be chosen based on 50% of the input coming from the judges and 50% coming from the public vote.
