Premio Dardos Award

“It's very validating when you are new in the industry to get awards. It boosts your self-esteem.” -Sheena Easton

Last year’s blogging ended on a high note when Cheryl Rushing nominated Jane's Ride for the Premio Dardo's award. Thank you, Cheryl. The Premio Dardos may not be an Oscar, Grammy, or National Book Award, but hey, I’ll take a pat on the back in any form.

About all I can find out about the award is that Premio Dardos means ‘prize darts’ in Italian and that it is given for recognition of cultural, ethical, literary, and personal values transmitted in the form of creative and original writing. How cool is that!

The rules are:
1) Accept the award by posting it on your blog along with the name of the person that has granted the award and a link to his/her blog.
2) Pass the award to another 15 blogs that are worthy of this acknowledgement, remembering to contact each of them to let them know they have been selected for this award.

I didn’t list 15 blogs because some of my favorites have already have won this award. I’m naming the ones that haven’t (at least to my knowledge) received the honor.

Emma Larkins, Emerging Author
Shrinking Violet Promotions, Marketing for Introverts
Yvonne Walus, A novelist speaks on books, the universe and everything
J. Kaye’s Book Blog, Where Reading takes Priority
Cindy’s Love of Books
Straight From Hel
Life of a Publisher
Double M’s Take on books, blogs, dogs, networking and life
Mike’s Writing and Workshop Newsletter
Do I Have to Spell it Out
Blog Book Tours, New Books, New Authors, New Ways to Connect,

It’s rather obvious by my selections that I am most interested in blogs that deal with books and writing. If you write a blog or know of one you think I may enjoy, please send me the link. Also I’d love to hear from anyone that has more information about the Premio Dardos award.

Thanks for stopping by.
