I'm Number Three!

I have a smile on my face this morning despite the heavy snow falling outside and the shovelling that lies ahead. Calling Shotgun has taken third place in the Ninjamatics 2011 Canadian Weblog Awards. I will proudly display my bronze medal for the Best Weblog About Writing & Literature | Écriture et Littérature.

A huge thanks to the jury who had quite a task in choosing the winners from a list of 461 blogs across 37 categories. The blogs were chosen from criteria based on design and content, and there were some snazzy sites there. I was thrilled just to make the shortlist.

The first place winner is the beautiful Ill Seen, Ill Said. It's both aesthetically pleasing and interesting to read. The second place THE Blog is from the Canadian Short Screenplay Competition and is well worth a read even if you are not a screenwriter.

You can check out the other categories and winners here. I especially enjoyed Food & Drink and Travel categories.
