The Netherlands puts we behind-the-times Americans to shame. Their Bloggie awards have been going strong for six years now. (Back in 2000 did you even know what a blog was?) The awards Web site is in Dutch, but you can nominate English-language blogs ... as long as they are written by someone in Holland. The award ceremony is held on March 11th in The Hague in the Museum of Communication. Deadline January 29th:
