You can nominate your own blog, as well as someone else’s. You only need to be nominated once to be considered; multiple nominations don’t count. To qualify, a blogger must live, work, or go to school within commuting distance of Manchester. And they can’t work for the Manchester Literature Festival, or Arts Council England, our valiant sponsors.

Please view the Categories before nominating a blog.

The deadline was 5pm on Sunday 18 September 2011 – nominations for this year’s Manchester Blog Awards have now closed. Check back soon for the shortlist.
