You have to PAY to get into the blog awards?! You mean it's not free? Ah only joking, a fiver is fine by me, I'd even pay the tenner as someone else suggested. I dont' think you should be out of pocket because of this Damien so if there's any profit to be had at the door, it should go to you. As for sponsorship, go for it. Perhaps be a little wary of the larger companies taking over the whole thing, but look into it for sure. And you know...I'm a journalist..I might see if I can get a little mention of the awards into my newspaper, just to let people know what it's all about. (And for next year, sure, you never know, I might be able to get a bigger piece into the papers!) What?! You have to PAY to get into the blog awards?! You mean it’s not free?

Having dealt with evil, eh.....lovely corporate sponsors before it's always a question of maintaining total control yourself while letting them have their little logo on the posters :-) Don't undervalue the event either - if Corpoglobalhypermex want to give you €100,000 next year so be it; if not we'll tootle along as we do now.... You should profit from your own hard work which this event most certainly is. The organisers of the radio awards certainly coveer everything and I'm sure have left overs at the end... As for me being paid next year - whoo hoo!!!!! :-) R Yes, yes, yes to all..

Of course , next years is fair game : Overall Sponsorship = more likely for event to continue = more recognition of Irish bloggers = Everybody happy.

It is the recognition everyone craves. Who cares if it is commericalised. The blogosphere is not some experiment in maxist theory you know. Bring on the sponsers. personnells i think the Ferrari irish blog awards sounds good. I don’t think the prizes are driving anyone. It is the recognition everyone craves.

I've enjoyed the electioneering, and have done my own vote for me banners, it's been a bit of craic as well as drawing my attention to blogs I didn't know before, as indeed has the awards. And the extra traffic has been great. Breaking even for you has been important and I am delighted that you have succeeded well done! And if you make money, great, as I said it has been your baby and we have all watched it grow from a thought on a post to the general buzz around Irishblogs. Regarding more sponsorship, why not! As long as you retain control so the scenario of blogs being excluded because a sponsor has a problem would not occur. Why not turn it into a bigger and better event each year!

When I have them all assigned categories and they are happy with them I'll list them but my only worry is any soliciting that will happen. Anyone that does though will see me when I get annoyed. :) There are in total about 16 judges.
