Back in 2006, Lindsay and I shared a wish. We wanted to create an awards program for bloggers, given by bloggers that had nothing to do with popularity or voting or prizes but more about the simple peer recognition of a post well written. After a few weeks of emailing back and forth, the Perfect Post Awards were born.
We were thrilled by the warm reaction the PPA’s received as well as the community spirit they created. As the calendar pages flipped by, our little monthly awards idea continued to gain momentum. Truly, we couldn’t have been more pleased.
But anything good has to come to an end and that’s what I am posting about today. After much discussion, Lindsay and I have decided that the Perfect Post Awards will end with 2008.
In January of 2009, we will be asking you one last time to send us your Perfect Post. This time though, we want the best post you’ve ever read. Yes, that’s right. We want you to submit the most incredible, the most personally earth-shattering post that you’ve read in your whole blogger life. And that is how we plan to conclude our little mutual dream – with a bang and amazing content.
Don’t worry! You have a few more months to participate regularly. We’ll be holding the Perfect Post Awards as usual for September, October, November and December – but come January 2009, you need to be ready with your Most Perfect Post of All Time. Deal?
See you tomorrow for the September 2008 edition of the Perfect Post Awards. Oh, and don’t forget to send me your links if you have not already!
