If you know any good South African blogs that you would like to nominate for the award, you can nominate them here.
I must confess that I have a problem with this, as most of the South African blogs I like don't really fit into any of the categories provided. The organisers provide an exceedingly narrow range of categories, which exclude the vast majority of the blogs I read. There are no categories for art, literature, religion, culture, society and so on. Yet another example of the ignoring of the humanities in "mainstream" culture.
They could at least have provided a "none of the above" category, or a "general/misc" category, but I suppose that's the problem of running an event with commercial sponsorship -- the categories are determined by what interests the sponsors rather than by what interests bloggers and blog readers.

I agree Steve, it is really a narrow choice. Somehow the sponsors need to be made aware of this.
Sorted at our end.
Well, I've just nominated methodius.blogspot.com for "Best Personal Blog." I think it fits your blog well, because you're not restricted to a single category anyway. :)
