As a suggestion, it might be a good idea to have a critic's choice of Awards as well. It may or may not have prizes, but it might help to also name a critics' choice for each category. One, it would help to highlight quality that may not nescessarily be measurable in terms of votes. Two, not to take away from any of the blogs nominated, it is possible that the system is not fool-proof. There were certain comments that there might be certain issues with the voting system. To be fair to the blog(s) in question, this may not nescessarily have anything to do with the blogger(s) himself/herself. This is to merely point out that offering a critics' choice will help mitigate this problem as well. I think 2004 has almost been 'the year of the blog'. These awards will help highlight this emerging trend. Excellent work rounding up sponsors, which I would imagine, is the hardest part. I think these awards will go a long way in highlighting the exceptional Indian blogs, of which there are quite a few. Great job in setting up the IndiBlog Awards!

In repect of Jurors who have not submitted their nominations - ignore and go ahead with whatever nominations that you have. By waiting indefinitely,it is unfair to jurors,nominees who finished their job on time and to your readers. On the question of time,while one may understand ,these would have been factored in the schedule that you announced - to make the whole process look credible,annouce final list asap - In the blog world, delays are not generally acceptable - so go ahead and publish the final list with whatever you have got so far.

Remember that this is a pure voluntary effort. We have a day-time job as other jurors have too, and we contribute here when we get spare time. Schedules are thus tentative and subject to change. The process of finalising Jury was lengthy and we are still to receive nominations from 2 of the 12 member jury panel. Unless we are done with nominations we cannot obviously start voting. It's difficult to take things in the "right spirit" always, especially when we get bouquets like the one quoted above. >>You’re the anonymous coward handing out “awards”
