BlogPaws Reveals 2015 Pet Blogging Award Finalists

THORNTON, Colo. — The fur is ready to fly. This week, BlogPaws, the first and original social media network and conference designed by and for pet bloggers, revealed finalists for the BlogPaws 2015 Nose-to-Nose Pet Blogging and Social Media Awards.

Designed to honor the best of the best in the pet blogging and micro-blogging world, 48 finalists in 12 categories have been selected in “Oscar-award” style by a panel of industry professionals. The 12 winners will be selected by judges based on creativity, expertise, and performance in their respective categories, which include Best Blog Design, Best Cause Blog, Best Facebook Design, and Best Twitter Design, among others.

These are the only pet industry awards on which pet bloggers and micro-bloggers are judged on the expertise, performance, and creativity of the entry. Each category is judged by a distinguished panel of professionals, and not by popular vote.

“Our bloggers strive to BE something, at BlogPaws, not just to ‘write’ something or ‘create’ something.” BlogPaws’ co-founder, Yvonne DiVita said.  It’s about learning, growing, and striving for excellence. BlogPaws rewards them with our Annual Nose to Nose Awards, sharing the 48 finalists leading up to our conference, then awarding the winners at a Red Carpet ceremony, at close of our conference.”

The complete list of BlogPaws 2015 Nose-to-Nose Pet Blogging and Social Media Award finalists can be found on the BlogPaws website: http://blogpaws.com/events/2015-conference/2015-nose-nose…

The three-day extravaganza culminates with this posh ceremony. All winners receive a trophy, recognition by peers, interviews with media, and a prize package.
