The Well Fed Network, which was started by the Accidental Hedonist, took over the hosting duties of the Food Blog Awards last year and has just announced a call for nominations for the 2006 awards. The awards were started as a way to recognize excellence in what was once a very tiny niche of the blogging world. In the past few years, the category has expanded immensely and the awards are a bigger deal than ever before. Nominating your favorite blogs/bloggers is a great way to let them know you appreciate their hard work and checking out the lists of nominees will introduce you to some great new sites. Nominations will close on Friday, December 15th by Midnight EST. The categories include Best Writing, Most humorous, Best Photography, Best Restaurant Reviews, Best New Food Blog, Best Original Recipes, Best Recipes, Best Blog by a Chef and Best Overall, among others.
By the way, we would love to send a big "thank you" out to the person who nominated Slashfood in the Best Group Blog category!
