2009 FitGems Awards

I tried to do this last year, and I came unprepared. This time, everything is set and ready to go. This is the first OFFICIAL FitGems Awards! Awards season is fastly approaching, so I'd thought I'd do something for all of you out there.

Yep, that's a lot to categories, but on the bright side, that means a lot of chances for you or one of your favorites to be nominated. You can nominate up to five people for each category. You can either send in your nominations through the official site, email, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, or leave a commment below this blog post with your nominations. Nominations will end on December 31st at noon Eastern/11 Central. After the nominees are in, beginning on January 1, 2010, you will then vote for who you think should win what category. Each winner will be notified sometime in February.

Everything (the winners AND nominees) are decided by YOU, so if you don't get involved and make your voices heard, you can't complain.

Good luck to everyone!! :)
