SHO-MO awards 2016

If you’re a money blogger, this is the chance to get some recognition. Most blogging awards put all money bloggers together – if they’re not lumped into a lifestyle category – but the SHO-MOs give us a chance to celebrate our specialities, and showcase the breadth of topics we write about.

Nominations are now open, and will close on July 3rd 2016 – EXTENDED TILL 5TH JULY. NOW CLOSED. The winners will be announced at the Show Me The Money Bloggers conference.

 

Eligibility

  • For the purposes of the SHO-MOs, a blog is a written article which reflects or shares the writer’s experiences or expertise. These articles should be the primary purpose of the website.

  • Only posts published between May 1st 2015 and April 30th 2016 are eligible.
  • The SHO-MOs are for independent bloggers.

Contributions by guest bloggers are allowed in addition to this as long as an individual has not contributed more than ten articles since May 1st 2015.
