Exploring Our Children’s Potentials

Have you heard of the Singapore Blog Awards?

Well, I first heard about it last year, when it was already OVER.

Now. The Awards has just begun again for this year though.

And for the very first time, Our Everyday Things joins in and is in the running for TWO categories!

Best Photography Blog AND Best Lifestyle Blog.

[They have a total of TEN award categories this year. Click HERE to see the list]

The awards is organised by omy.sg, a bilingual news web portal (under Singapore Press Holdings), and there’ll be a panel of professional judges too.

Basically, 30% of the total score will be based on public votes, and the remaining 70% will be based on the judges’ votes.

…

This is how it works:

– Blog nominations will close on June 9th
– Judges will select 10 finalists for each category
– Public is invited to cast their votes (which will make the 30% of the total score)
– Judges will then pick the 2009 winners for each category

…

Come to think of it, Our Everyday Things has never won any ‘Awards’ actually (other than the Bloggy Award last December, which is more of a blog review rather than a ‘competition’).

I’m hoping that perhaps Our Everyday Things can have a chance in winning this local Blog Awards.

With your support, of course!

Unlike the Blogger’s Choice Awards which is open to blogs around the world and runs throughout the year (and btw, you can still vote for me if you haven’t already done so, hehe …  just click on the two icons on the left sidebar), the Singapore Blog Awards will announce the winners sometime in July! (well, either in July or August this year)

So, I really really hope you can vote for Our Everyday Things for this Awards!

[To vote, you’d need to register with omy.sg.  If you live outside of Singapore, enter your passport no. when asked for your ‘FIN no.’. Click on the two categories (Best Photography Blog and Best Lifestyle Blog), find Our Everyday Things, and click on the word RALLY just below it]

And hey, perhaps Our Everyday Things can go into the top 10 finalists.

AND, perhaps it can even WIN!

[and if that happened, it’d be the site’s very first time winning something, officially!]

Big thanks, everyone!
