This is the nomination phase, and it's very brief. All nominations must be submitted online through Milblogging.com by 11:59 pm EST on Wednesday, September 10th, 2008.
You have to be registered at milblogging.com, but it's relatively painless and for a good cause. NOTE: registrations are apparently being activated by hand, so get yours in ASAP so that you can nominate/vote.
Here are some of my favorite nominations that don't always get the attention they deserve in these kinds of contests (linked at milblogging.com)
Kaboom (yes, it's defunct, but it was a great milblog and it falls within the competition dates)
Big Tobacco
Information Dissemination
The Destroyermen
The Gun Line
Threatswatch
SpouseBUZZ
Soldiers' Angels Germany (not placed in the correct category. Nominate here).
This is an open post, so you can add your own ideas to the list above or in comments below. Other than that, I don't suppose I have to tell you what to go do, now... ;)

Heh. I read this post and it unleashed the inner Democrat hiding in me. Equality of outcome! Not equality of opportunity! I wanna turn this into a elementary school-age soccer league, where *everybody* gets trophies!
Snerk. Until Greyhawk retires, the military veteran category is pwned by Blackfive. The rest of us just watch him through our binos as he speeds out ahead of us. Might as well engrave the trophy now.
New category! Military Retiree! That means I only compete with old farts my own age... We might have a chance in that category... If that doesn't work, Military Retiree (Army). If that doesn't work, Military Retiree (Army) (Field Artillery). If that doesn't work...
I mean, while the person who started this post didn't sign their work... you'll note they didn't mention *this* place.... prolly why they didn't sign it.
Owhell. We're a meritocracy, not a Democrat Town Hall meeting. But I still get to say... "Fooey!" - the Armorer
