Red Reporter Announces 2005 Sports Blog Awards

Posted on December 13, 2005

Red Reporter has announced the 2005 Sports Blog Awards after noticing that there were not many awards for sports blogs.

Sports blogs are one of the strongest niches in the blogosphere and have received a great deal of publicity and notice from the mainstream media. Sports bloggers deserve some respect and gratification for the work they do, and that's what I hope this will accomplish.

The awards include categories for the blogs covering professional and college sports: Best MLB Blog, Best NFL Blog, Best NBA Blog, Best NHL Blog, Best College Sports Blog, Best NCAA Football Blog and Best NCAA Basketball Blog. There are also categories for Best General Sports Blog, Best Humor Blog and Best Newcomer. Nominations will run through December 19th. Voting will run from December 20th through January 1st, and Red Reporter hopes to announce winners on January 2nd. Sports Blogs can be nominated in the comments thread of this post. Red Reporter is also looking for prize donations for the contest.
