This is standard practice in most awards - the Bloggies do it too. Winning two categories might deprive someone else from winning, but so does winning one category. In the judges' opinion they were better. I'm glad to see this initiative as I feel that there needs to be more recognition of travel blogs and more of a travel blog community, like there is with food blogs, for example. There are 11 food blogs in the Bloggies finals, but no travel blogs. We should try to change this and also support stand-alone initiatives like this one. Griping about the outcome is not helpful.

Brought to you by the folks at National Geographic Traveler, IT creators write, "What does 'Intelligent Travel' mean? We think it's about exploring the intersection of authentic and sustainable travel. We want to showcase the essence of place, what's unique and original, what locals cherish most about where they live. And we want to highlight places, practices, and people that are on the front lines of sustainable travel - travel that preserves places' essential uniqueness for future generations." Sounds pretty tranquilo to me ... I'll definitely be bookmarking the IT.
