Voting open for the 2009 Travel Blogger Awards
Matthew CashmoreLonely Planet author
The results are in, we’ve run the figures and we present the top five nominated blogs in each category.
You can vote for one blog in each category. Please do only vote once – we’re sure there are ways you can get around the tech, but please, do only vote once. We reserve the right to remove votes we think are fraudulent – and remember – public voting will make up 50% of the overall score.
Voting will close at midday on Friday 20th March 2009 Pacific Time USA (San Francisco)
If you’d like to know how we’ll be counting the votes and how the maths will work we’ve put up a special post explaining it all.
