A big thank you to everyone who nominated a blogger. We received a total of 111 bloggers nominated from a total of 15 countries as follows:
Canada, Finland, France, Ireland, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Romania, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, UK and USA.
Interestingly we had a 31% female and 69% male split for nominations and 32% female and 68% male in our final shortlist which is shown in alphabetical order below with a link to their website. Many congratulations to all those who made the list.
The quality, dedication and passion for ultra marathons and trail running shines through brightly in much of the writing from the bloggers that you nominated.
We had a strict scoring criteria in place as explained in our recent forum post and the bloggers were scored out of a total score of 80 on the following criteria:
-
Consistency
-
Quality of Imagery
-
Quality of Copy
-
Creativity
-
Promotion
-
Authority

Usability

Overall Impression
We’ve included social pages as a form of microblogging. We noticed that more people are switching from a traditional blog website to a social media based microblog. Please remember this is a ‘blogger' award not a ‘blog' award.
We have a total of 50 names on our shortlist and voting is now open until 23.59 on 17th January 2016. The final selection as to who wins the award is now in your hands.
We will announce the final winner and our blogger finalists on 19th January 2016.
