Philofaxy Awards 2013

Some of you might recall the Philofaxy Awards held last year, winners in each category received a Filofax personal organiser from the London 2012 Olympics range.


Following my triumph in the recent Filofax Setting the Scene for Summer challenge I have the following Filofax personal organisers with Philofaxy cards to donate.

Fusion in Black, Saffiano in Aqua and Bright Purple

We would like to hold the Philofaxy Awards 2013 and we need your help.

These awards are in the following categories:
  • Best New Filofax Blogger (Saffiano Personal Aqua) 
  • Best Filofax Video Blogger (Saffiano Personal Purple) 
  • Best Filofax Photography (Saffiano Personal Aqua) 
  • Most Artistic Filofax/ Blog (Saffiano Personal Purple) 
  • Best All Rounder (Fusion) - Reader, Commenter, Contributor to Facebook, Open catergory 
The awards will work like this:
    1. Each reader can nominate 1 blog or person for each category listed above.
    2. Each category will have a separate vote (all voted on at the same time) with people being able to vote for one entry in each category.
    3. Nominations by Email only to philofaxy at gmail dot com with the category as the subject of the email. Include the name of the person and the name of the blog (if applicable), a link to the site, You Tube Channel or to the person's Flickr/Instagram pictures if they don't have a blog.
    4. Voting to run for 10 days From 4th July onwards. 
    5. The awards are open to everyone no matter where you are in the world...as long as you have a postal service and you are a reader/commenter on Philofaxy 
    6. Prizes have been pre-allocated to each category as indicated above. Prize winners can choose to swap between them selves if they wish with the agreement of both parties of course.  No cash alternatives are available. 
    7. If you doesn't wish to claim your prize, Steve will be quite happy to sell your prize on Adspot with the money received going straight to Chimwemwe and then posting it to the buyer. 
    8. The decision of the judges will be final. 
      Nominations must be received by 12 noon (UK time) 4th July 2013 for inclusion in the voting process.

      We look forward to receiving your nominations.

      1. Hi! I think this is a great concept. But would you be open to the idea of having a contest giveaway for people who do not have Filofaxes yet and who are thinking of switching into the Filofax system? You can ask them something like, "How do you plan to adopt the Filofax system from your previous system?" or something like that. The wealth of ideas your community could get will be tremendous.

        1. Hi, nice idea although I'm not quite sure how we would judge which was the best submission. We will have other giveaways in the future so we might be able to use your idea then.
          Thank you
          Steve

      6. Nice binders, good of FF to donate them. Now to think on nominations - so many creative people out there. Time for some serious coffee to help me think this over. :)

      7. Started to select my nominees for each category and realized this will not be that easy. We have multiple great selections for each category. Time to go back and research blogs, videos, Facebook, etc. Good luck to everyone!

      8. I am so glad that none of these are red! If so, I would have to launch a campaign to get votes...and that is waaay too much work.

        I have so many "favorite" bloggers and YouTubers...this is gonna be tough to narrow it down. I like point #7. Nice way to help the charity if these particular FF don't appeal to you.

        Best of luck to everyone!

      11. Is it possible for 1 person to be nominated in 2 different categories?

        1. Yes a person can be nominated for more than one category.

          If two readers nominate the same person for the same category it only counts as one nomination.
