Does My Blog Look Good in This-“DMBLGIT” Announcement October, 2010

I am the proud recipient of 5 DMBLGIT honors of long ago, it seems, but I have never hosted this fabulous event showcasing some of the best of food and drink from bloggers all around the globe. The brain child of  Andrew of Spittoon Extra , DMBLGIT has been called by some “the grandest food porn event available on the web”. Winners are selected in three categories- edibility, aesthetics and originality, plus three overall winners. Judges will be announced later this month. Looking forward to seeing your photos and reading your posts.

Here are the rules:

• Only one food/drink photograph may be entered per person.
• The photograph must have been taken by you.
• The photograph must have been posted on your blog during September 2010.
• The deadline to submit your entry is 25 October 2010 at midnight, Indian Standard Time.
• A panel of judges will assess the quality of all of the entries before eventually selecting winners from the pictures. There will be winners in the following categories:
• • Aesthetics: composition, food styling, lighting, focus, etc.
  • Edibility: Does the photo make us want to take a big bite out of our computer monitor while drooling on our keyboard?
  • Originality: a photo that makes you stop, look twice, and think “wow, I never thought of photographing it like that before!”
  • Overall Winner: the photograph that scores the highest when individual scores for Aesthetics, Edibility and Originality are added up.
  • Results will be announced on 1st November 2010.
