The nominations are trickling in, but there’s more work to be done.  We had some major IR blogging events this year — Snowden, Egypt, Syria, Russia, etc….  and we’re looking for nominations for the best work out there in 2013.  We’re still taking nominations through the end of the month.  Sage is co-sponsoring the Awards and the Awards Reception at ISA in Toronto in March — here’s their press release. 

Here’s what we have so far for each category — we don’t have a single nomination for best new IR blog and only a handful of nominations for best blog post.  Please send us your nominations — you can email us a nomination directly or post in the Comments thread below.

    Thks for the list. Someone should verify this, but my impression from having glanced at IPE Zone once or twice is that it’s a blog w a single author not a group blog — hence it’s listed in the wrong category. (And is Syria Comment a group blog or a single-author one? I thought the latter but cd be wrong.)

      Thanks for the correction — yes, IPEZone is an individual blog by Emmanual Yujuico. Syria Comment lists itself as coordinated by Joshua Landis but with multiple contributors.
