2013 Canadian Weblog AwardsThe first of our two jury rounds has concluded! 34 jurors have adjudicated 492 weblogs using our 10 criteria to narrow down the search for the top five blogs shortlisted in each of 34 categories of the 2013 Canadian Weblog Awards. 

Our jurors have shown an immense amount of dedication over the last week. They have read through hundreds of nominations and put themselves through the hard work of critiquing some of the best in Canadian blogs. Over the coming week, our trusty jurors will dive in again for a second and final round of jury duty to ferret out the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners in each category.
