The category selection process

The awards process for the SA Blog Awards is still a complicated matter. We are constantly looking at ways to improve and simplify the process.
We have had several requests for new categories.
The reality is that too many categories makes the awards process a logistical nightmare.

We are are of the opinion that some new categories coud be added and some removed.

The following are just a few examples and will give you some food for thought
  • Should a Video / Podcast blog not simply be in a Techno Category.
  • We've had quite a few requests for bloggs on arts & crafts, but should this fall under a "Hobbies" Blog. Or is this quite simply a best "Personal' blog.
  • Should radio and TV not quite simply fall in under 'Entertainment"
There are many debates and opinions on the matter of category selection.
Please help us answer these questions in order to equalise and simplify this process.

If you would like to suggest a new category please submit it here.
Additionally your opinion regarding the category debate is welcomed.
Please write your suggestion in under 500 characters.
