The Rules
Here is how the Design Bloggers Conference Hall of Fame Awards process works:
- The awards are open to any English-language design blog.
- The nomination period will start on December 15, 2016, and continue through the end of the day (Eastern Standard Time) on January 16, 2017. Nominations are open to the public and will be made via the Design Bloggers Conference website (see below to nominate a blog). A nomination can be made by simply adding a comment to the page for the designated category nominating the blog for consideration. Each blog nominated for a category will be included in the selection process; additional nominations for a blog in the same category will have no effect, so once a blog is nominated for a category there is no reason to nominate it again.
- A panel of expert judges will evaluate all the nominated blogs for each category during the period January 16 – January 22, 2017 and will select the top five blogs in each category.
- The public will be given the opportunity to vote for the finalists of each category from January 24 – February 17, 2017.
- Each category winner will be chosen based on 50% of the input coming from the judges and 50% coming from the public vote.
- The awards will be presented live at the Design Bloggers Conference at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles on March 6, 2017.
