BlogPaws and Cat Writers’ Association Reveal 2016 Award Updates

BlogPaws revealed its 2016 Nose-to-Nose Pet Blogging and Social Media Award finalists this week. The awards unite all species of animals and those who write about and for them.

All Finalists receive a Blogger Full Conference Pass to the BlogPaws 2016 Conference, taking place at the beautiful Sheraton Grand at Wild Horse Pass Resort & Spa, June 23-25. They’ll also get Red Carpet treatment and recognition at the Awards Ceremony on Saturday evening, and of course the chance to be announced as the Winner in their categories!

The Winners will receive the coveted Nose-to-Nose trophy on stage during the live-streamed awards gala, honored status among their peers, media attention, as well as a package of other prizes.

These are the only pet industry awards in which pet bloggers and micro-bloggers are judged on the expertise, performance, and creativity of the entry. Each category is judged by a distinguished panel of professionals, not by popular vote. The influence of pet bloggers is growing and the BlogPaws community is leading the way

What is a BlogPaws Conference?

BlogPaws is a 3-day conference jam-packed with educational sessions led by leading professionals, networking with influencers, a busy exhibit hall, exciting brand events, more influencers, and lots of pets. Pets remain at the heart of everything BlogPaws does. These pet friendly conferences invite all pets, everywhere in the event space.
