The objective of the Made jn Blog Awards is before everything to hightlight and recognize the talents of Canadian bloggers. This is why we decided to feature all the bloggers at the same level for the first phase and not to show the number of votes in order to readers to be able to discover new blogs and make their ow opinions without being influenced by their popularity. This results in a unique opportunity for Canadian bloggers to get discovered!

The 10 finalists in all categories will receive a badge to install on their blog to demonstrate their success in this first phase of the MiB Awards 2013. The three winners in each category will also receive a specific badge to highlight the recognition either from the public than from industry experts of the quality of their blog.

We’re also very happy to be able to count on our sponsors to offer our bloggers the chance to win amazing prizes for the first edition of the MiB Awards!

Every Monday at 8pm EST during four weeks we will draw 6 winners among all the bloggers registered who had received at least 15 votes to win one of the following prizes:

• 1 x 50$ Smart Set gift card
• 1 x Clarisonic Mia2 (value of 175$)
• 1 x $25 DeSerres gift card
• 1 x package of Yves Rocher products (value of $100)
• 1 x recipe book from the collection “The World’s 60 best“
• 1 x set of 3 Green & Black’s chocolat bars (white, milk, black)

You’re probably guessed, the earliest you register, the more chances you have to win! The random draw will take place on October 28, November 4, November 11 and November 18. Winners will be contacted by mail on Tuesday and EVERYONE can win among the bloggers with more than 15 votes*! By that we aim at rewarding the bloggers who are engaged in the promotion of their blog. This being said, you may have noticed that we post all your articles about the MiB Awards in our dedicated Facebook gallery, send us your link if you post something!
