The time has come, dear friends, to bestow laurels upon a select few Richmond Internet superstars. Today marks the start of the first phase of the 2009 RVA Internet Awards… The Nominations.

Now, some of you might be a bit confused. “RVA Internet Awards?” you’re muttering to yourself. “I thought you guys gave out the RVA Blog Awards.”

That’s true. For the past couple years, we’ve focused on blogs and blogs alone. But with the 2009 social media explosion, we thought it only appropriate to expand things a bit.

Check out the categories below and submit your nominations in the comments…

• Best New Blog
• Best Kept Secret
• Best Community Blog
• Best Comment Thread
• Post of the Year
• Best Overall Blog
• Best Community News Break (via a website or social media)
• Best Use of Social Media By a Business
• Funniest Twitterer
• Most Thought-Provoking Twitterer
• Best Overall Twitterer

We’ll take nominations until next Friday, January 22. Remember, these should apply to Internet action taking place in 2009. Winners will get a sweet button/badge/jpeg type thing to do with what they like. And also glory and honor.

Go forth and nominate!
