Irish Blog Awards

Blog Awards Logo SmallOn the 11th of March Ireland’s first Blog Awards ceremony was held in Dublin City, and to great success with over 160 participants!

We sponsored the category for ‘Best Personal Blog’ which was won by ‘that girl’ from thinkingoutloud. Below is a photo of the prizegiving - you can see it was a pretty informal affair! The photo below is me giving ‘that girl’ her award, and looking on are Piaras Kelly moblogging it and Tom Raftery on his right, who took loads of photos we’re looking forward to seeing on Flickr!

Blog Awards

It was an enjoyable night, great to catch up with some of Ireland’s bloggers and techies, and fair play to Damien Mulley for what I know is hard work in organising an event!
You can see the blogosphere’s rants, raves and reviews at Technorati and in the Flickr pool.

EDIT: Photo credit to Tom Raftery. I replaced Robin Blandford’s one in case he asked for royalties! Thanks to BOTH Tom and Robin for taking photos, nice to have some evidence of the night! :-P
