Nominations for the 2007 Travvies, celebrating the best in travel blogging, are now closed. Alas.

Many thanks to everyone who made nominations, and thanks to all the bloggers out there who helped spread the word. Several people have e-mailed, indicating that they’ve enjoyed reading the nomination threads, discovering new sites. That’s great, and exactly the desired outcome of the whole nomination process.

The list of sites will shortly be in the hands of the judges, who will spend the next week reviewing the nominees and selecting the finalists. When finalists are announced, we’ll announce the names of judges as well. (We don’t want the candidates trying to influence judges’ decisions, after all.) All will be revealed soon. Public voting begins February 21. Stay tuned!

Thanks again to everyone who participated, and best of luck to all the contenders!

   Even though the Nominations are already closed, I wanted to mention Tim’s Nomad Diaries. He’s got some really fascinating traveling tales and nice photos. Ummm maybe keep the site on tabs for next year’s competition…
