BJJ Blog of the Year 2008 Contest

Well I mentioned that we would have news on our annual BJJ Blog of the Year Contest this week and I meant it! I am particularly excited about the big leaps we are making in this year’s contest over those from previous years.

As last year, the Mighty 600,000 (that is YOU!) will vote in a poll that we will post here on the site to determine the winner. However, because the number of Brazilian jiu-jitsu blogs out there has grown so much in the last year, I expect we will receive a lot of nominations and I don’t want to put a list of a gazillion options up there. I think we can narrow the candidates down to a handful of really good blogs that you can vote on. How will we determine our final candidates? Judges.

OUR JUDGES

• BJJ purple belt & Southern California’s busiest Brazilian jiu-jitsu, submission grappling and MMA photographer, AliciaPhotos.com’s Alicia Anthony!
• BJJ black belt & Editor in Chief of Gracie Mag Luca Atalla!
• BJJ black belt & Senior Editor of ADCombat.com and author of over one dozen books on Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Kid Peligro!

BJJ bloggers, I hope you have been working hard this year because the prizes this time around are unbelievable. I don’t know if we could ever do any better than this!
