The Kiwiblog 2008 Awards

I’m opening nominations early for the Kiwiblog 2008 Awards, as I don’t want them caught up in the election.

As with last year, there are five categories:

1. MP of the Year
2. Labour MP of the Year
3. National MP of the Year
4. Minor Party MP of the Year
5. Press Gallery Journalist of the Year
6. Public Servant of the Year

Make your nominations below, and then I’ll announce the finalists and run a poll in each category. These are all positive awards – for the best person in each category.

Also are there any missing categories? Feel free to suggest some additional categories.

Last year the winners were:

1. MP of the Year – John Key
2. Labour MP of the Year – Phil Goff
3. National MP of the Year – Bill English
4. Minor Party MP of the Year – Heather Roy
5. Press Gallery Journalist of the Year – Fran O’Sullivan
6. Public Servant of the Year – Kevin Brady

I am instituting a new rule – you can’t win two years running in the same category, So you can’t nominate people in the category they won last year.
