Voting Now Open For The 2012 Ultrabook Blogster Awards

Do you love the internet as much as we do? Pedestrian is extremely excited to be teaming up with Intel for the 2012 Ultrabook™ Pedestrian.tv Blogster Awards, a search for Australia’s best bloggers across music, fashion, food, media, technology, design and photography as well as a micro-blogging category to crown Australia’s King and Queen of Twitter and/or Voice related joke maker.

After launching the inaugural Blogsters in 2011, we’re thrilled to be resurrecting the awards bigger and better with a few new twists to prove that there’s more to the internet than just really niche porn sites and Shane Warne online poker ads. For one, this year’s awards will feature winners across six different categories as well as a best-in-show style top dog dubbed the 2012 Intel Blogger of the Year. The categories are:

• King/Queen of Twitter
• Music
• Fashion
• Food
• Media, Technology & Culture
• Art, Design & Photography

Each winner will then be paired with a industry mentor: Channel [V] for music, Vogue Australia for fashion, Time Out for food, Australian Creative for art, design and photography, Brendan Maclean in the Twitter category, and yours truly for media, technology and culture, who will also comprise a judging panel which will determine 75% of the vote, with the other 25% decided by you guys.

Throughout the coming weeks you’ll be also hearing from each nominee (20 each across every category) to give you a better idea of who they are, what they’re all about and why you should vote for them. We’ve set up some killer content tasks for them so keep an eye out. [**Please note**: A unique URL and profile was auto generated for every submission in Pedestrian’s back end which, due to a technical glitch, was released to the public. The official category finalists are now live.]

In the meantime, you can vote for the blogs you do know at the Blogsters Homepage.

Winners will be announced at an awards event on Friday the 8th of June as part of the Vivid Ideas program at the Vivid Ideas Exchange. Winners from each category will receive an Ultrabook™ – Inspired by Intel with the ‘best in show’ also receiving the kudos of being our inaugural Intel Blogger of the Year.
