Tomorrow, we will pronounce the winners of our FB ComLuv Blogging Contest, and we want to spot the light today on our Judges Team for being so supportive, and for accepting to join us from the first call, I am sure it wasn’t that easy to read all 39 amazing articles in our commenting folder.
Of course we all know that Judges is a big word, but the good thing is we are not in a real court, we are just trying to bring fair results to all our blogging contest participants, and this should be fun!
We would like to thank everyone involved in our blogging contest, and we really appreciate their work and time!
How Judges will Decide our 20 Winners?
It’s pretty simple idea, and a lot of work. Our Judges Team has to read all articles and give points out of 10 for each article depending on the quality, and of course we are talking here about personal opinion of our Judges, and it’s already done now, and we got the results in the control room, also one cool thing we have done is to have a great Judges team of 8 individual bloggers and experts in their fields, today we will make the final results after calculating the average of each article, our Judges will decided our 20 winers!
Meet our Judges
Gail @GrowMap has published a post earlier at ComLuv.com introducing our judges team, they were 11 judges at that time, but we got results only from 8 judges, and we really can not wait for the rest to send their results, so I am going to mention those who delivered results on time, so.. here is our Judges Team:

In case you’re tracking such matters and I’m sue you are; I found your site from Ann’s Forum over at MyGuestBlog. It’s taken me a couple of years to get a decent PR4 and an Alexa south of 150k, so maybe my submission will have a decent chance of making the grade, coz from what I can tell, there’s some pretty strong guys/gals in the mix.
Hi, we are actually organizing a new blogging contest about traffic generation, it will start at the 1st of March, check it out!

I know we have a whole bunch of awesome articles written for this contest, and to couple that with a marvelous team of judges who are experts in their areas of expertise. I doubt my chance at winning any prize, but I sure did enjoy it all! I guess that itself is the reward of participating in a wonderful contest like this.
Keep up the good work at FamousBloggers!

This is gotta be exciting really. Good luck to everyone and I know the judges will really have a hard time reading and judging all the 39 entries. I mean in my contest I just had 16 entries, yet its hard to decide what points to give.

I almost didn’t participate, it was my first contest and I just wasn’t sure I was good enough to even qualify. But I eventually bit the bullet and I made it in. I can’t wait to see how it all ends. No matter if I win or not this was a great educational experience and I look forward to future contest.
May the best blogger win even though I think we are all winners one way or another.

Thank you Tom for the great support, awesome job!
Hesham, I almost hate to see this contest come to an end; I loved it so much. I really say that because I feel that everyone of us an integral part of such a close-knit group now. We have all been reading each others blogs and commenting on the guest posts and at the same time evolving into an even stronger community. I truly hope the momentum continues. Everyone has such high spirits and although the prize money isn’t everything I sure wish I was one of the the lucky guys or gals taking home those winnings!
A very rewarding experience for all involved. Thank you!!

Really a fantastic contest, and I’m looking forward to reading the entries.
You know, the great thing about these kinds of contests isn’t really the cash prize.
The really great thing is that it raises standards across the board. What used to be phenomenal, is now expected. That’s a tough one for people just starting out, but in the end, it builds credibility for all of us.
Dave Doolin recently posted..Building Your Blogging Skill Set outsourcing isn’t everything
That’s completely true Dave, We are trying our best build high credibility that makes everyone satisfied with results! and yes.. it’s not all about winning a cash prize, there are tons of other great benefits!
Thank you for stepping by, I wish you a good weekend!
