2010 Australian Gymnastics Blog Awards

It turns out there are two certainties in life.

Taxes, more taxes, and the AGB Awards.

Wait... *counts on fingers*...

Here are the rules, as per usual:

**** You may nominate one favourite in each category, and email your nominations to ozgymblog@gmail.com by January 24th 2011 with "Awards 2010" as your subject header. You may vote anonymously but please only vote for ONE nominee in each category (choosing only from the names in that category, no open-ended "other" responses will be accepted) and only vote once. Your details will not be passed on to any correspondents or used for advertising purposes. It's just easier than commenting, really.

Results will be tabulated throughout this month and posted by the the 26th of January - That's right, on Australia Day! Get your votes in and show your gym community some love! ****
