“Rookie Blogger of the Year” Contest

I am  very excited to announce the first major contest here on Tycoon Blogger.  I have done a couple little contests and just wrapped up a contest on my Daily Blog Contest Blog.  On a side note, if you have not checked that blog out, you may want to head over.  Every day I feature a different blog contest that is going on in the blogosphere.  It is a great way to learn about new contests and a great way to get the word out about your contests.

Back to the topic at hand, Tycoon Blogger is proud to announce:

The First Annual “Rookie Blogger of the Year” 2009 Contest

I am still working on all of the details but here are the basics.

  • All bloggers who started their blog in 2009 are able to enter
  • Only bloggers that are in the blogging, social media, MMO, technology or related niches are eligible
  • The entry process starts right now, and voting will start on October 15, 2009
  • Besides bragging rights there will be a significant cash and prizes to the winner

I am looking for sponsors for this contest.  I am trying to have a few sponsors that will sponsor a large amount, rather than a lot of sponsors sponsoring a little, if you know what I mean.  Please contact me via the contact from or tycoonblogger at gmail dot com if you are interested in sponsoring this.  I am planning to promote the sh*t out of this and you can be assured of maximum exposure.

If you are a new blogger who started your blog in 2009, leave a comment below and  link to your blog.  I will get in touch with you to confirm your entry.

Please help me spread the word.  If you know any rookie bloggers let them know about this contest.

Stay tuned for more information.

**Update- The submission process will end on Sept 30th **

Voting will begin on October 15th

    Good contest! I started blogging November 2008, so I just miss this contest by two months! Shame. Good luck with it. I am sure a lot of people will gain recognition from it.

  15. Zurich says:

    Can I still join the contest? I’m just 5 days late when I read this topic. But anyway, if you can’t accommodate my entry then I think I will just participate on voting. I think I need to wait another year to join this contest and I hope I’m still a rookie by that time. More power to you!

    Great idea, I just started up the blog Future Conscience and we have been going for one month now.

    I would love to see what people think of it! We cross over a few categories, however our blog is a futurist one so we often cover social media and technology (those two categories combined make up most of our topics). I hope that you feel we are eligible, because we would love to be included!
