I was one of the delegees for choosing the German finalists, and can assure everyone that only the highest-quality, most scientific and Teutonically thorough methods were used to throw darts at the names on the wall and see which blogs got nominated. No, seriously, I read the list of nominations and lotsa blog entries and used my best judgement. Good luck to all the finalists.

David: “the process ws a bit random. I had to delegate pickng german and french blogs.”

Hmm, why do I get the impression that you are not really interested in awarding the best German blog?

Now I have probably given the impression that I don’t appreciate your nomination of the Atlantic Review. Actually, I do very much. I was just surprised that only four blogs were nominated.

When does voting close on Friday?

David,
First of all, many thanks for including my blog “amateur d’art”.
My writing name (instead of “some French person”) is Lunettes Rouges. Do you want my real name ?
The other culture finalist is known as Ruines Circulaires; you can write to him at ruinescirculaires@gmail.com .
I found it very interesting that 3 of the five culture blogs are by Frenchmen (and a fourth by a Belgian).
I am posting now on my blog regarding this contest, which I just learned about today.
Best

Cool.

Does anyone know the names of the two unidentified culture blog finalists?

Have to say – this is the only awards thingy I’ve ever been involved with where people are actually clicking through to read the blog before voting.

So congratulations, like.
