Posted on September 22, 2009

TheBump.com, a blog for first-time parents from TheKnot.com, is running a Mommy blog contest. The Bump Mommy Blog Awards program invites mommy and daddy bloggers and their fans to nominate their favorite sites. The contest has 15 different categories. The nomination period ends on Tuesday, October 9.

"Real parent bloggers are one of the most useful resources for pregnancy and parenting information," says Carley Roney, editor in chief of TheBump.com. "The Bump Mommy Blog Awards is the perfect medium to bring recognition to all these mommy and daddy bloggers for their hard work."

On Tuesday, October 13, TheBump.com will showcase up to 10 finalists for each of the 15 blog categories. Visitors can then review the top entries and vote for their favorite blogs until Monday, October 19. On October 20, the winners of each blog category will be announced and will automatically be entered in the running for the title of Best Overall Blog. The grand prize winner will receive a stimulus package of $1,000 from The Bump. Each of the 15 blog category winners will receive a gift card for $100 from a specialty baby retailer.
