We are formally launching the new craze in town - The Blog Awards Challenge!
The Blog Awards Challenge is a blog competition combining literary skills, interactivity and peer polling. The Blog Awards Challenge is bi-weekly theme-based writing event for everyone in the blogosphere. A challenge is posted in the site every two weeks. Bloggers who wish to compete will write about the theme and post the entry on their respective blogs. [Please read about the challenge and rules of the game first.]
Are you done reading the rules? If not, click here.
Done?
The first challenge THEME will be posted on April 13, 2008 (Sunday). However, before that exciting day comes, we want you, dear bloggers, to help us create a buzz by writing about this newest delight to grace the blogosphere.
Write a post that helps promote this site. No limit of words. Write anything you want, well, positively. The only requirement is to link back to this page, theblogawardchallenge.com, using the keywords "The Blog Awards Challenge".
Once you have your post ready and published, please tell us by leaving a comment and the exact URL of the post.
Since we so much value your help, on April 12, 2008 (a day before the posting of the first challenge), we will be giving out prizes to the lucky few who have participated in the promotion. A winner will be selected in a random drawing and will receive an iPod Shuffle. Books will be given to two runners-up. Titles of the books will be posted soon. The first runner-up will get the chance to select the book he/she wants. Automatically, the book remaining goes to the 2nd runner-up.
Winners will be posted immediately and be contacted through email for sending details.
Start the posting now and enter the challenge! There is nothing to lose here, guys :-)
Cheers to all of you!

Update: March 16, 2008
More prizes for the promotion are coming in. Others are inquiring how they could help. We will appreciate any help, however small it is. Just send an email to blogchallenge [at] gmail [dot] com. Thanks again everyone.

- DVD of Josh Groban's concert
More books to be given away....join us!
One more thing, if you want to be among the three guest judges [competition rule #8] for a particular week, send us an email. We will link to your blog alongside the declaration of winners if you'll be selected [it is very likely that you will be].
Update: March 19, 2008
We designed new badges for the sidebar. Feel free to use it on your blogs. See badges.
Update: April 11, 2008
Winners of the TBAC promo will be drawn tomorrow (April 12, 2008, U.S. Central Time). You still have time to write your posts. Come back tomorrow. I'll post a video of the draw. Cheers!
