Late Additions to the Judges

Tumblr Award Judges

Mon, 15 Dec 2008 00:01:00 -0500

The nominations have just ended. I’ve exported the data to review so any further nominations won’t be taken into consideration. I want to thank everyone (over 700 people) that nominated a tumblelog for an award.

So anyway, it’s time to announce the judges, who will be compiling the final list of nominees to voted on by you.

Marco of marco.org, Lead Developer of Tumblr.
Bill of Cubicle 17.
Topherchris of topherchris.com.
Lee of EatSleepDraw.
Gavin of Jam Factory.
Simen of Daily Meh.
Matt of matt.cc.

The judges will consider all the data and collaborate on a final list. One note: tumblelogs and tumblr groups that the judges are a part of won’t be disqualified, but they must have been nominated by someone (and in the Google Spreadsheet) else to be included in the final list.

Once the final list is decided, we’ll post it here for you to vote on.

Nominations end tonight at midnight (Eastern Time). Go nominate...

Sun, 14 Dec 2008 10:48:40 -0500

Nominations end tonight at midnight (Eastern Time). Go nominate someone.

Nominations will end Sunday

Thu, 11 Dec 2008 12:13:00 -0500

First I’d like to thank everyone who’s nominated a fellow tumblr user for a tumblr award. We have gotten A LOT of nominations so far. So thank you for that.

I wanted to let everyone know that nomination process will end on Sunday. I’ll give everyone until midnight (eastern time) to submit. After that I’ll be removing the links to the forms from the site and I won’t accept anymore submissions.

Shortly after that, the judges for the Tumblr Awards will be announced right here, they’ll collaborate to create a list of final nominees based on all the data that’s been submitted, and we’ll post the final list to be voted on by you.

So this means it’s time for the final push. If you want to walk away with an award, it’s time to ask your followers to nominate you. Just link to back to tumblrawards.tumblr.com or to one of the two forms (multiple nominations or single nomination.)

Want to get nominated?

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 17:28:34 -0500

All you’ve got to do is get your followers to nominate you! The more nominations for your tumblelog, the better a chance you have of being included in the final list of nominees. Just post a link to tumblrawards.tumblr.com or a link the form to nominate you for one category or multiple categories (or both!)

Obviously multiple submissions for one tumblelog from the same IP address aren’t going to weigh in too heavily, so try to get other tumblr users to nominate you.

Nominate Tumblelogs in all categories!

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 13:09:00 -0500

Nominate Tumblelogs in all categories!:

Want to nominate tumblelogs in all the categories? This is a new form to do it in one step. All submissions must be URLs to sites running on tumblr to qualify. The old form still works too if you prefer it.

None of the fields are required except for Name and Email. Fill in as many as you like.
