We’ve heard there has been some protest over the fact that we’ve closed the nominations for our blog awards already.

We admit that launching the competition so close to Christmas may have meant that many of you were too busy tucking in to your turkey to get your nominations in. So, we have bowed to the pressure and are pleased to announce we’ve extended the deadline for nominations until midnight on Sunday 10th January.

Keep those nominations coming!
