Want to award someone the Illuminating Blogger Award?

  • You don’t have to be nominated yourself to award another site. Just write a blog post indicating who you wish to nominate and why. Make certain that your post includes a link to the official award site (http://foodstoriesblog.com/illuminating-blogger-award/) so they’ll know the steps to follow. Notify your recipient by leaving a comment on their blog. That’s it! Feel free to nominate any blog that has informative, illuminating content.

Want to become an IBA recipient?

  • If you haven’t been awarded the Illuminating Blogger Award yet and feel you deserve it then just send me an email at foodstoriesblog@gmail.com. I’ll review your site and it if meets criteria (informative, illuminating blog content) then I would be happy to bestow the award on you :-)

Why the Illuminating Blogger Award from a food blogger?

  • I already have an award related to food and storytelling (http://foodstoriesblog.com/food-stories-award/) but it just seemed so narrow. People have asked if they could give it to other blogs that weren’t related to food so I thought I would create an award that is more inclusive of everyone. When I visit other blogs, I always learn so much from the informative content, blogging techniques or personalities, etc … I always learn something so I wanted to be able to offer this to everyone. This is a great way to pay it forward and meet new people!
