Vote for Party Time!

Here at Party Time, we’re honored to be nominated for a BOB award for the “best English weblog.” Click here to cast a vote for Party Time.

Who and what is BOB, you ask? BOB is a contest run by Deutsche Welle, Germany’s international public broadcaster. More than 8,500 blogs, videoblogs and podcasts were nominated in 16 categories for the BOBs this year. The judges narrowed them down to 176 finalists in 11 categories. Now it’s time to pick the winners.

Deutsche Welle’s worthy mission is to “encourage a global online dialogue - regardless of language. Another goal of the BOBs is to support the spread of the freedom of expression, information and the press worldwide, especially in countries where such freedoms are limited.” You can read more about the contest here.

Voting ends November 26. Please cast your vote now–and tell your friends, family, and anybody you happen to party with to vote for the Sunlight Foundation’s Party Time!
