Indibloggies 2006 ~ Meet the Sponsors

Sponsors are integral to the theme of Indibloggies. More than anything else, their involvement with the event signifies the ethos of the Internet in general and the blogdom in particular, the intent is of significance, not the value of the award.

Past Indibloggies events have seen fellow bloggers donate prizes, infact the debut event had no awards other than those coming from the blogdom itself. The theme of collaboration is so rampant in the event, and I am not referring to the bogus voting, that happens ;) , the kind souls who donate their products know that this is not perhaps an apt platform for advertisement, yet they go for it. This is just incredible.

Do take a look at the award categories for the 2006 event. We would only be too happy if you could lend your support to this revolution.

Indibloggies 2006 ~ The Award Categories

There had been tremendous feedback on the categories from Indibloggers and we have revamped the categories this time. It’s time to bid adieu to the award categories “Indiblog with the best tagline” and “IndiBlog lifetime achiever”, the latter certainly sounded too clichéd. And, guess what, we have added five sparkling new categories.

The upcoming 2006 event of the Indibloggies would award outstanding blogs in the following award-categories:

  1. IndiBlog of the year
  2. Best Humanities IndiBlog (IndiBlogs on Humanities, covering Art/Craft, Literature, Paintings, Poetry/Fiction)
  3. Best Entertainment Indiblog (blogs on Music, TV, Movies, theater) New
  4. Best Sports IndiBlog
  5. Best Science/Technology IndiBlog
  6. Best IndiBlog directory/service/clique/network
  7. Best Topical IndiBlog
  8. Best Designed IndiBlog (Blogs with original designs or with major visible customizations to existing themes)
  9. Best Food Indiblog New
  10. Most Humorous Indiblog New
  11. Best IndiPodcast New
  12. Best Travel Indiblog New
  13. Best New Indiblog (IndiBloggers who began blogging on or after July 1, 2006)
  14. Best Photo Blog
