The 2008 edition of the annual China Blog Awards is about to kick off over at The Chinalyst, so if you’ve got yourself a China-focused blog, be sure to get your blog signed up and in the running.
As with last year’s competition, voting is done in a straight up “Digg-like” voting style, with everyone being able to cast one vote per blog. Blogs are categorized into the following categories:
- Business/Law blogs
- News blogs
- Personal blogs
- Technology blogs
- Travel blogs
- General blogs (that don’t fit into the other categories)
Voting officially opens on December 1st, 2008, giving any blogs not signed up at the Chinalyst a chance to get signed up and included in the competition. Blogs will also be allowed to sign up after voting begins, but may have to make up some ground against the sites that have already had votes cast for them.
Winners will be announced January 2009.
