Okay, I promise that this is not going to turn into a blog with an obsessive focus on awards. Just humour me for a bit. The second round of the Canadian Blog Awards has started, and we have some northerners in the finals:

Culture & Literature:

• Book Mine Set

Family:

• Fawnahareo’s Place

GLBT:

• Ferry Tales (wanna-be northerner)

Photo/Art:

• Dave Brosha Photography

Podcaster/Vlogger:

• YKOnline
• KyleWith

Please go over there to vote. Voting ends on December 19.

This is the round I like most. The first round is a little too “come one, come all” for me, but in the second round I always find at least one excellent Canadian blog to add to my reader. We northerners tend to get clobbered because we don’t have large numbers of devoted followers, but any profile we can get for northern blogs is a good thing. (This is the entire reason I started the Best NWT Blogs contest. If you haven’t been over there yet, go now. Bloggers must nominate themselves this year.)
