Nominations for 2009 LP Travel Blogger Awards

Matthew CashmoreLonely Planet author

UPDATE: Nominations are now closed. Read more about the next steps and when voting will start.

Here are the list of categories that you have suggested over the last few weeks for the first ever Lonely Planet Travel Blogger Awards.

The idea is you submit your nominations under the categories below, then about mid-Feb (we’ll confirm the date closer to the time) we’ll close nominations and public voting will start for the top five nominated blogs in each category.

Please do make sure that you put the Blog URL in the fields below - starting with http:// - for example - http://lplabs.com - rather than just the Blog Title.

Some notes: You can submit as many blogs as you like for each category - just separate the Blog URLs with a , we ask for your name and email, but we’ll only use those details to administer the nominations, we’ll also use your email to let you know when nominations close, voting begins and a few other emails about the awards as we get closer to the awards evening. After that we’ll delete your details from our system and wont use them again. Any questions email me on matthew.cashmore@lonelyplanet.com. Finally, you can submit as many forms as you like, you don’t have to do this once :-)
