For Your Consideration
As some, or most, of you will be aware, the 2013 Lammy Awards are now underway. Amongst all of us bloggers this is a coveted prize that brings warmth the heart of the victor. If only, to be reminded that other bloggers appreciate the effort that you’ve put in. Don’t worry too much, though. I’m not about to go on the campaign trail and bombard you with my gleaming smile, firm handshake or even a photographic opportunity when kissing your baby. That being said, I’d still like to win one of these awards but I’m going to be straight up about it.
What I would like to do, at this time, is thank all of you who have submitted my blog and got me to the nomination stage. I’m over the moon and can’t thank you all enough. It is at this time that I will now submit my “For Your Consideration” poster (which I’ve been dying to do) for the four main category’s that I would be greatful in getting a nomination for.
The poster speaks for itself, I think, and that’s as far as my campaigning will go. However, you will still be able to see the poster in my sidebar throughout the nomination stage as a gentle reminder. Anyway, I’ve said enough already. A big thank you to Chris from Filmhipster for the excellent poster that he designed for me and thanks to all that have submitted me so far and for any further consideration you might have.
Always grateful,
Mark

Best of luck Mark. I’d be surprised if you weren’t among the final few for at least a couple of these.

Hey there! I’m pretty certain you’ll grab at least one Lammy – if not several. But you never know – with more voting this year, it’s hard to tell where the votes finally will fall. Anyway: best of luck! I’ve already submitted a ballot and – yes – your name was in more than one category.
