    The SXSW Web Awards (http://2007.sxsw.com/interactive/web_awards/) are specifically configured to find the best new stuff: only sites that launched in 2006 can be entered, with the sole exception of the “Classic” category. It might be worth checking out not just the results in 2007, but also the winners from the past two or three years.

    Amen! The same holds true for podcast awards.

    If you don’t like it, you could always hold your own contest.

  4. Liza (1 comments.) says:

    They did have a “Best New Blog” category — maybe you missed it?

  5. Trent (3 comments.) says:

    My feeling is that they should eliminate previous winners from future contention. This allows new blogs to get in there over time.

  6. Meredith (24 comments.) says:

    I agree…I hate seeing the same names over and over. It’s not that I expect every little blog out there should be in contention at some point, but how many times can somebody vote for Dooce? (Nothing against Dooce, just an example.)

  7. Mrs Lifecruiser (1 comments.) says:

    Uhum… Yes, I hoped to be discovered, since I need some more blog friends, but I think I just disappeared as the little invisible ant against the big elephants… *lol*

    I was up against Dooce – as I call myself: as the Best Diarreahist ;-)

    Well, I see it as a fun experience, but somehow I ended up wondering if there really could be a fair judgement and if there really was cheating involved as people claimed.

    Obviously a tricky contest in all kind of ways. People seemed to take it deadly serious.

    I just thought that I could have had more FUN during the contest, meeting more friends…

    Oh, well, that’s life :-)
