Finest Blogs of IL

Dear IL'ites,

Today, we are happy to announce another new initiative (or contest) called "Finest Blogs of IL" (in similar lines to "Finest Posts of IL"). With this, we want to celebrate the Blog patrons of IL for the quality of their contributions in the Blogs section of IL.

Our Blog Reviewers will be hosting this initiative, thanks to them! Through this initiative, every month we will pick one best blog entry (or blog comment) amongst the nominations you made as the 'Finest Blog of the Month'.

How will this contest work?

• Every month, we will start a thread here to receive nominations for “Finest Blogs of IL”
• As you read the blogs and come across a blog entry (or a blog comment) that is impressive, nominate it for “Finest Blogs of IL” in the current nomination thread. You can make a maximum of 4 nominations in a month.
• At the end of the month Blog Reviewers will review the nominations and announce a blog entry (or a blog comment) as one of the “Finest Blogs of IL”.
• They will also choose the 2nd best blog entry as the runner up blog entry.

What are the prizes?

• The blogger who made the winning blog entry
  • Will receive a special Gift
  • Will have a special mention in their signature about their achievement
  • Will have the entry "featured" on top of the Blog section in the following month (during the 1st half of the month)
