Hey guys, happy Fat Tuesday and all that rot. I just wanted to send out a quick reminder about the Readers Choice Awards.
Voting closes today at 11:59 p.m. EST sharp, so even if you have already voted, make sure you have put the word out to encourage votes for your favorites.
Who's in the lead?
Best Online Handmade Marketplace (Vote)
At the time of this writing, Zibbet and Artfire are neck-and-neck as your favorite online handmade marketplaces.
Favorite Fashion Blog (Vote)
The Fashion Insider has pulled ahead of Already Pretty. These are both notable fashion blogs worth checking out!
Favorite Handmade Artisan: Jewelry Design (Vote)
Popnicute is holding a healthy lead, this has been, and continues to be, a very competitive category.
Favorite Crafty Blog (Vote)
Dollar Store Crafts has held onto the lead in this category for the duration of the voting process. Can Handmade News catch up?
Favorite Handmade Artisan: Crochet Designs (Vote)
Right now, this one is looking good for Drew Emborsky, but Fierce Hook is hanging in there!
Favorite Handmade Artisan: Original Clothing Design (Vote)
Togs for Tots has widened the gap on this one, weighing in with over 500 votes at the time of writing.
Favorite Handmade Artisan: Geek Craft (Vote)
Debby Arem Designs and Poppy's Wicked Garden are still fairly close on this one. In my opinion, it's still on.
Best DIY Fashion Book of 2010 (Vote)
Twinkie Chan's Crochet Goodies for Fashion Foodies has a lot of fans! The lead here is pretty good.
Favorite Handmade Artisan: Knit Designs (Vote)
Made for Me by Oaklie and Wool Mountain Studios are still holding their own.
Is there still time to get votes?
Yes, absolutely. Since this is a Readers Choice kind of award, it is up to the readers to decide who wins, not me. This means that the companies and individuals that put a lot of effort into spreading the word often the ones that end up with a lot of votes.
If you want to help out your favorites, I suggest taking to Twitter, Facebook, and even good old fashioned email. Here is a short url for the polls: http://bit.ly/g2RpKa
Remember, polls close at 11:59pm Eastern time. I'll be taking a screen shot of the winners, so any votes after this time will be void.
Winners will be announced and featured on March 15th at the DIY Fashion site. Good luck to our nominees!
