I think it’s fair to say that Level Up was one of the pioneers in using blogging as a communication tool for the local online gaming industry. I started Waukster Online almost 2 years ago and I was followed by my colleague, GM Tristan. After that, several other Level Up employees started their own blogs as well. With that in mind, it comes as no surprise that when we heard that the Philippine Blog Awards 2008 organizing committee was looking for partners, we immediately jumped at the opportunity. I’m happy to let you guys know that we’re actually giving a gaming blog award at this year’s ceremonies!
Mechanics, prizes, and everything else you need to know after the jump.
The Level Up! Gaming Blog Award is open to:
1. A blog about gaming (console/handheld/online) in general or about Level Up!’s games only.
2. Philippine based Filipino Bloggers onlyJudges:
