Dutch Bloggies 2006

The Dutch Weblog Awards a.k.a. Dutch Bloggies have kicked off again. I wouldn't mind being nominated for 'beste vormgeving' (best design) or 'beste thema weblog' (best theme blog). *hint hint hint*

I wouldn’t mind nominating you, but…

“Alle Nederlandstalige weblogs die actief waren in 2005 kunnen meedingen naar een Dutch Bloggie.”

So no luck, there. (For the non-Dutch readers: that line said that only blogs in Dutch can be nominated).

Of course, you could nominate me... wink wink, nudge nudge =]

Ah I see they changed that. That’s totally stupid IMHO. The best Dutch blogs are in English, like Anne van Kesteren who was nominated last year but (I don’t understand why) wasn’t awarded eventually. I guess this post can be discarded then…

Well, totally stupid is a big term. I think they want to specifically cater to the “dutch” market, so the language restriction does make some sense. Yes, it does mean that some very high-quality blogs are “left out”. It does make sure that the quality blogs in Dutch do get the attention they deserve, though. Just as long as they make sure that GeenStijl and ReteCool don’t end up being the winner of all categories like last year. =]

And hey, there’s more bloggies than just the Dutch ones… =]

They won’t end up winning everything this year because every weblog can only win two prices each.

Hi all,
Thanks for the discussion. We continued this with the organisation and have decided that dutch blogs, written in other languages can also be nominated. We will check if the owner of the blog is dutch. No big deal here I think
I hope you all will nominate!
