奖项包括：
World’s Best Urban Architecture Blog – Blogs that cover the buildings and architecture of cities, either with text or photos or both.
World’s Best Urban Food Blog – City eating, be it restaurants, street food, cooking, or anything in between.
World’s Best Urban Nightlife Blog – Going out in the city. Bars, clubs, lounges, shows, and so on.
World’s Best Urban Music Blog – Concerts, bands, reviews, MP3s, live music, the works.
World’s Best Urban Arts Blog – Museums, galleries, design, graffiti, and anything related.
World’s Best Urban Sex Blog – Dirty in the city. Who’s doing what to whom, and for how much.
World’s Hottest Urban Blogger – You know, the one you keep stalking at those panels and launch parties. Or wished you lived near enough to stalk.
Best New York Blog – Because there’s so damn many of them, one must be the best, right?
Best Los Angeles Blog – Ditto above, since LA’s blog scene is equally lively.
World’s Best Urban Photoblog – Who takes the prettiest city pics?
World’s Most Inane Urban Blog Post – City blogs may inspire, but they can also motivate posts about the most quotidian, mundane, or tedious subjects. For example, see this Gridskipper post about waffles — talk about phoning it in. This is the one category allowing nominations from sites belonging to Gawker Media or their runnin’ dogs.
World’s Best Urban Blog – Here it is. All the marbles. The winner gets $500 at iTunes. Can you even handle that much jamming? Let’s hope so. Bring it, etc.
