I am extremely thrilled and honored to announce that I am hosting one of the most prestigious
food photography contest in the blogosphere known as DMBLGiT (Does My Blog Look
Good In This?) for the month of September!
Conceived by Andrew of Spittoon Extra, DMBLGiT is the longest running online food photography contest, dating back to 2005, each month showcasing a wealth of talent from food bloggers all over the web. It is open to all bloggers who have posted a food related photograph and is hosted by a different blogger each month. An amazing group of extremely talented judges (who will be revealed later this month), that have been truly kind to accept my request to be on the panel, will review the submissions and choose the winners for several categories. Each of the winners will receive a beautiful DMBLGiT badge to place on their site!!!
