MAD Blog Awards 2011 Finalists Revealed!

Over the past month, we’ve sifted through tens of thousands of nominations for more than 750 different British parent blogs in the MAD Blog Awards.

Now we’re thrilled to announce the finalists in the second annual Mum and Dad Blogger Awards, in association with our sponsors at Parentdish.

Below you’ll find a complete list of all our finalists, but do head over to the finalists’ page where you can see a profile of each finalist, complete with links to their blog and their Twitter accounts – making it easy for you to discover new blogs, and add them to your reading list.

When you’ve checked out the finalists, you can vote using the form on the website. You can also download one of our fetching ‘vote now’ badges or perhaps let your readers know that you’re a finalist by displaying one of our even more fetching ‘finalist’ badges on your blog sidebar.

Voting will be open for four weeks from today, after which we will announce the winners of the MAD Blog Awards 2011.

Thanks to everyone who has participated so far and we wish everyone taking part lots of luck in the second stage of the awards.
