As promised in yesterday’s timeline for this year’s BoBs, today is the day we release the 2013-2014 Best of Blogging nominees! For those of you not familiar with the Clear Admit Best of Blogging competition, the goal of this annual event is two-fold. First, we want to recognize and celebrate the best MBA applicant and student blogs covering the 2013-2014 admissions cycle/academic year. Equally important is Clear Admit’s commitment to identifying valuable sources of information for the next round of MBA applicants and students. The process to determine BoB nominees started with considering all Fridays From The Frontlines -featured blogs. By looking at originality and relevance of content, as well as total number of posts and overall contribution to the space, we then narrowed the count down to a select group of bloggers. Whether new to the blog scene or seasoned veterans, focused on providing course descriptions or travel tips, straight-laced students or party animals, all members of this group have something unique to share, and provided informative and engaging information about the MBA experience. The next step is for the nominated bloggers and blog readers to cast their votes. Voting can be done by following this link, or by tweeting your top three favorites – along with the hashtag #ClearAdmitBoB – to @clearadmit. Voting will conclude on Wednesday, May 28th. We will email those nominees with their contact information on their blogs to provide them with ballots. Nominees who don’t receive a ballot are encouraged to get in touch by sending a note to [email protected]. For more details on the BoBs (prizes, rules, etc), you can read our original post. And now, with no further delay, the nominees for the 2013-2014 Best of Blogging Awards: Timbob
