It's never easy to admit when one has made a mistake. But sometimes that's the only thing that has to be done.

The 2005 Food Blog Award Nomination Process was an wonderful success. So much so, that the judging process is still taking place. I completely underestimated the response to these awards, and it has affected the work load of our wonderful judges.

As such, I'm going to move the date of the polls opening from Dec 21st (a deadline that flew by so fast that it had its own discernable doppler effect) to Jan 4th.

This accomplishes two things:

1. It gives the judges more time to work through the thousands of entries.
2. It starts balloting during a time when few people are distracted by elves, trees, and various parties that inexplicable serve alcoholohic beverages mixed with eggs and milk.

I do apologize for setting up people's expectations and then fail at meeting that expecation. It's something I try to do very rarely. But it was my fault for not forecasting the response correctly.

Please...stay tuned after the turn of the new year. The results promise to be worth it.
