Winners!

I am pleased to announce that we have winners in three categories. Please stop voting in the five polls below. They will continue to accept your votes, but I will not. :)

Best or funniest northern story: Black Lake Or Black Magic (Just Below 63). This win is well deserved, although the others in this category were great competitors. Hilarious story, Rob. In fact, it was dinner conversation at my house a few weeks ago. Prize: NWT birch basket with quillwork or original tufting on hide in a loop from Indigo.

Best photography: Inuvik Photos. This one was a landslide. Peterson Photography and Design does amazing photography, but it's not really a photoblog in the same way Inuvik Photos is. I guess it's only appropriate that the Blog Awards would reward photoblogging over slick presentation. Prize: Set of northern cards from Rob & Tina.

Best new NWT blog: Janet's Arctic Adventure. This was close. I kept checking back throughout the day, and I wasn't sure whether Janet or Karan's Blog would come out on top. They are both great blogs in very different ways. Prize: Dinner for two at Megan's house in Yellowknife.

Congratulations to our three winners. Rob & Tina and Indigo, please get in touch with the winners.

But don't go away: Round two of Best Blog and Best Post starts now.
