The Word is out

Ladies and Gentlemen, the wait is over. The hectic final voting spell spread over a week that also saw a repoll for the Best Designed Indiblog category -- an unprecedented event in the history of the Indibloggies -- is finally over and we are all set to declare the results. The public poll, thanks to the sophisticated poll script that we used this year, demanded that you unearthed all those email IDs that you created but never used, including those "2 minute" mailinator ones. And those who only had that lone yahoo ID since years were also delighted to get the additional Yahoo ID. It was, all in all, a peaceful poll with no untoward incidents. A record 1278 people registered for the poll but only 892 actually cast their vote, by virtue of those "a@b.com" email ID that were used to register and those cookies resting on your machine, I am happy that they could verify that the system was quite hard-wearing, the polls couldn't be sturdier than this, IMHO.



And since I don't want to irk you with anecdotes of innocent emails that ranged from "I just got the voting link. How do I nominate the sites?" to "Hey the link is not working" to "I never voted but got a mail saying thanks for voting" to "I won't vote", here are the results:



IndiBlog of the year  [Tally]

India UncutIndia Uncut is the Best Indiblog at the Indibloggies 2005. Amit Varma, author of India Uncut and a Mumbai based journalist is a maverick of quick posts and anything that starts with a "C", cows and cricket for instance. He not only bagged 25% of the votes cast for the category but also has the distinction to bag 225 votes, the highest number of votes bagged by any blog/site in this competition (yes, we know that voting for this category was mandatory but we are talking statistics here) and emerged a clear winner. Such fun! Amit wins



Best Topical IndiBlog  [Tally]

India UncutMumbai based ace journalist, Sonia Faleiro (wow, the journos seem to have hijacked these awards ;) ) is the winner of this category and wins:



Best Humanities IndiBlog  [Tally]

Best Science/Technology IndiBlog  [Tally]

India UncutThe winning blog is The Scientific Indian by that "hominid born out of star dust that coalesced some 5 billion years ago" -- Selvakumar bagged 30% of the votes in this category. Selvakumar wins

India UncutMall Road is the winner. Shivam Vij, the guy with vicious plans, such as, toppling a few governments, wins:

The public opinion seemed quite divided on this category, with all the blogs in the fray finishing very close. This was one category that cheesed off a lot of people and this is probably the last time it appears at the Indibloggies.



Best Designed IndiBlog  [Tally]

India Uncut A walk in the clouds.. by Megha wins with 37% votes and strengthened my belief in the power of "collective wisdom". Yeh public hai, sab janti hai. This category witnessed some heated arguments on the scope of the award. The Jury was of a divided opinion, nominees rejected were unhappy and it was time we left the decision to the junta. This is the only category at the Indibloggies that had "all" the publicly nominated blogs competing for the award. The opinion that has clearly emerged out of the debate that followed it is that people do want that to come up to its name the category should only recognize original designs in future. Megha wins:

Indibloggies 2004 : And the winners are...

Innumerable contestants, close to 100 nominated blogs and 16 winners emerging in the grand finale to the Indibloggies 2004. This year’s event has been spectacular for Indibloggies with an unprecedented nine sponsors offering prizes worth above Rs.25000 and a panel of 12 Jurors who had the momentous task of frisking the list. I do not have enough words to show my appreciation for all those who participated in the event. The apprehensions on the award's credibility also prompted me to reveal my identity, I had resorted to the pseudonym Indiblogger when I started the affair because I thought an identity is always accompanied with prejudices, I am happy I was proven wrong.

So here is the much awaited final list of winners. My congratulations to all the winners. My thanks also to all those who voted and kept visiting these pages. Winners Must send me an email at indibloggies at gmail dot com with subject "Prize claim" so that I could forward their details to the sponsors.


We have one ritual left for this years awards so do visit again. If you are into statistics, the polls have been archived for posterity here.

And the winners are..

Fellow IndiBloggers! You did a great job and thank you for that. We hope that this effort kindled the spirit of Indian-ness in the IndiBlogosphere. Hopefully, this get-together brought us closer as a community. If this effort introduced you to even a single blog that you had never heard of before, if it prompted you to say, "ya man that blog is truly good, I must have it on my blogroll", we would deem this as worthwhile. What this years awards lacked was some slackness in nominations, many deserving blogs were perhaps left away, atleast for vernacular blogs we expected a lot more nominations, but hey this was just a beginning.

Here is to the IndiBlogosphere, hope all IndiBloggers would rise above the mediocre and strive towards excellence. Let Blogging make a difference to the world we live in.

Enough of commentary, here is the final list of winners for the IndiBlog Awards -2003:

Heart Congratulations to all the winners! Jivha and Vaijayanthi, please get in touch with the award-sponsors directly to claim your prizes. The show is not over yet, we have one more item to go before the curtains are down for this years awards. Watch out for the surprise post!
