You blog seems to be a shoo-in for a coup...Hi Joel. You blog seems to be a shoo-in for a couple of our categories, such as Marketing & Advertising or Entertainment. We aren’t trying to monetize bloggers’ egos – we are merely trying to award great bloggers for their hard work and dedication to their craft. <BR/><BR/>To your point about award contests that require payment, there are quite a few including those like the Webby Awards and Gold Quill. <BR/>We’re not the only ones, but we also knew that in our first year bloggers, like you, would question the price. <BR/> <BR/>However, it doesn’t derail us from our charter to recognize the best blogs in the world, because like bloggers we are future thinkers, too. Who knew that a few years ago a web log would turn into a mainstream source of news and information.<BR/>The entry fee simply covers costs to promote and award the winners.<BR/><BR/>In addition, those bloggers who are interested can join the Chapeau Blog Awards affiliate program which gives each blogger the opportunity to earn a monetary reward and a free entry into the award program. If you’d like more information on this, please contact us.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>CherylAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
