Title: Help me win an award '09 (now BUMPED for '10!)
Post by: Martin on November 16, 2009, 05:32:21 PM
I might have done this before, can't remember... anyway, the Swedish blog collective WEIRD SCIENCE, which I'm a member of, is nominated for the Swedish Culture Blog Awards 2009 (Stora Kulturbloggpriset 2009), in two categories: best film/tv blog, and best overall blog (that's the big one). Care to help us win?

Go here:

http://sodergren.com/survey/public/survey.php?name=vote09

It's in Swedish, but it's pretty straight-forward. Vote in the two categories that feature WEIRD SCIENCE (and feel free to vote in any other categories aswell - in cat. 4 ("other") there's a cool comic book blog called Shazam which could use the support - not sure you have to fill in the whole thing). You need to provide an email address (you won't receive any mail; it's just to make sure people don't vote multiple times).

That's it - thanks in advance!

It's forcing us to answer question #6 in order to cast the ballot.  I'm assuming it has something to do with carpaccio but a translation would be appreciated.

Since I already submitted, I can't see the page anymore (it just says "thanks for voting"). Is it perhaps where you need to enter the email address? I think it might be - all the voting is multiple-choice Qs.

I think it's just asking for an email address.  If TACK! means something like thank you, then my votes got counted.

"Thanks for your votes. Now all you need to do is enter your email address. This is necessary to verify your votes. The address will not be used for any other purpose."

Tack means thanks.

TACK.

Wait, "TACK" is Swedish for Thank you?!

That's it, I'm moving there.  I've got blonde hair, black depression, and no health care (here).  

SIGN ME UP!  

I'll even get used to that craziness you people call food.

TACK!

Forgot to say that voting for this automatically gives you a green card to Sweden.
Title: Re: Help me win an award '09

So I could move there and live off the state the way I do here?  That's great news!

If you're lucky, next time I go to NY I might bring some of those unfortunately-named chocolate pastries you had when you visited, if you remember those.

I'd like to see you try to explain them through customs.

Big congratulations, Martin!

Can I cash in on that drink on your shores? It's kinda fucked up over here right now.

Yes, BPH!

The drink offer is valid anywhere in the world where we happen to bump into each other.

BUMP

HELP ME WIN AN AWARD '10!


Our blog Weird Science is nominated for another award, this time the Big Blog Award ("Stora Bloggpriset"), which is sponsored by Sweden's biggest tabloid Aftonbladet. We were runners-up in the Arts&Culture category last year - the fact that we didn't win is a travesty! - and we're nominated again this year. If you wanna help us out, do this:

1. Click this link: http://bit.ly/6h8ZYI
2. In the top category to the left, "Nöje & Kultur", pick Weird Science.
3. Skip the other categories (if you want to).
4. Fill in name ("Namn") + email ("E-post") in the bottom right corner of the page (scroll down).
5. Click the "Rösta" button.

Done!

I believe you can only vote once. At least once per email address.

Thanks!

If it's up to me, absolutely! Not sure I'll be there myself though, it's in Stockholm so I'm trying to get the hosts to pay for my trainride up there.

I re-tweeted to Twitter telling people to vote, but that was in Swedish, too.
