Social Security Blogger Awards 2010

Believe it or not, we are already thinking about next years RSA security bloggers meet up.  The event gets bigger every year, more fun, but also more work.  This year promises to be no different.  At last years event we introduced the Social Security Blogger Awards.  It was supposed to be a little tongue in cheek and chance for some of the great bloggers in the security arena to get some recognition.  Well we had never run an award before and it turned into a big learning experience for us all.

For this years get together we would like to do the Social Security Bloggers Awards again.  However with some different rules.  We will accept blogs in an open nomination process. I am thinking that a select group of judges will narrow down the finalists. The finalists will then be voted upon by the members of the security bloggers network. This way rather than a popularity contest with all of the issues around it, it will be more of an by the blogger, for the blogger award.  Sort of the like Screen Actors Guild (SAG) where only SAG members vote.  What do you think? Do you have any suggestions to do this better?  I have to report back to the organizing committee on this, so if you have an idea please comment and let me know.
