One Year On…

One Year On…

Well, its been a year since the last Total Politics blog awards and now we’re back around to the annual award season where blogs must try and encourage their readers to vote for them in order to win a prize.

In the spirit of the game, I’d like to encourage regular readers to go ahead and vote for your ten favourite blogs.  Please note that this is not “cheating”, blogs are expected to promote the competition and encourage readers to take part.  I certainly wouldn’t ask you to vote for this blog, but I’d obviously hope some regular readers who take part might think about doing so if they value this site.

This is the fifth year of the poll. The votes will be compiled and included in the forthcoming book, the Total Politics Guide to Blogging 2010-11, which will be published in September.

The rules are simple.

1. You must vote for your ten favourite blogs and ranks them from 1 (your favourite) to 10 (your tenth favourite).
2. Your votes must be ranked from 1 to 10. Any votes which do not have rankings will not be counted.
3. You MUST include at least FIVE blogs in your list, but please list ten if you can. If you include fewer than five, your vote will not count.
4. Email your vote to toptenblogs@totalpolitics.com
5. Only vote once.
6. Only blogs based in the UK, run by UK residents or based on UK politics are eligible. No blog will be excluded from voting.
7. Anonymous votes left in the comments will not count. You must give a name.
8. All votes must be received by midnight on 31 July 2010. Any votes received after that date will not count.
