It seems that something called the Okie Blog Awards is coming up soon. As stated by Okiedoke, the Okie Blog Awards are "intended for our blogging peers to recognize and honor the excellence of diversity by bloggers within the state through popular nominating and voting."
The rules seem very straightforward. The blog has to be active, has to have at least one writer who resides in the state, and bloggers cannot nominate or vote for their own blog. However, it seems to me that there is no rule against shamelessly begging people to vote for us.
