  1. Darren’s got that one wrapped up!!! No contest. :-)

  2. Doh!
    I was hoping that this one might have slipped by your nose! I guess you never know, maybe they will go for a less professional blog. If they go for a half ass one, I might have a chance!

  3. lol – I somehow doubt that friends. There are so many thousands of amazing blogs and bloggers in Australia – I have a feeling they’ll be looking for something with a little wider appeal. It’ll be interesting to see how it goes though and who they come up with.

  4. My bet is they go for something more outlandish rather than a dry sort of blog most of us produce. It’ll no doubt be some sort of pop-culture blog with lots of color and craziness.

  5. It’s open to NEW ZEALANDERs too. (I wrote that big to make sure the NZers saw it – I wasn’t shouting.)

    And here’s the judging criteria:

    Entries will be judged on content, creativity , uniqueness and the number of and current postings on their blog. Use of photographs and audiovisual material will be considered.

    Now the hard part is saying why it’s the best. :s

    I hope they make the list of blogs entered available somewhere so we can judge ourselves too. :) A peoples choice.

    On another note, does anyone know of any aussie aggregating services like aussieblogs.net used to be? I still miss that.

    Additionally, there’s another blog competition going on that I only just found a couple of days ago in exploring Ruby on Rails. Typo blog software is holding a theme design competition and you can win a PowerBook or and iBook among other goodies! :)
    I’m trying to get my rails installation to work with MySQL damnit, I want that PowerBook and some new blogware to play with. :)
