2010 SEMMY Awards: Coming Soon

The calendar has flipped to a new year, and that means it’s SEMMY Awards season. Our committee of eight search & social media marketers has spent the past year reading content from across the web and choosing the best articles to be nominated in this year’s SEMMY Awards.

What’s New

We have a total of 139 authors nominated this year, representing 99 different web sites/blogs. We’ll have 17 categories again this year, but the “LOL Funny!” category is gone and a new “Copywriting” category is taking its place. (Note: categories will come and go from one year to the next; there were no funny articles nominated this year, so no need for that category.)

Proposed Timeline

Here’s the schedule we hope to keep:

January 13: 2010 nominees are posted
January 20: Judges’ deadline to decide category finalists
January 25: 2010 finalists posted; public voting begins
January 29: Public voting closes
February 1: Winners announced

January 13 is next week, so I’m going to wrap up this post and get busy. You can bookmark SEMMYS.org, subscribe to the RSS feed, and/or follow @SEMMYS on Twitter for the latest updates over the next few weeks.
