Although this year's winners were announced some seven weeks ago, it is only yesterday that I became aware that Scribbles from the Den was one of the laureates of the 2008 Black Weblog Awards.
Scribbles won the judges' vote in the Best International Blog category. This year, there were over 9,400+ nominations in 30 different categories and over 1,500 votes.
According to chatterboxpublicity.com, the Black Weblog Awards were created in 2005
to recognize the best black bloggers in the industry and to serve as a platform for supporting and uplifting those shaping the minds of the black community through the use of online technology and communication.
The Black Weblog Awards' mission is to empower and encourage black bloggers to continue creating more original content, open dialogue, unique storytelling and diverse views. "Our lives, our stories and our voices matter."
Hello Dibussi,
Congratulations for your award. Keep up the high standards. A bigger award may be around the corner.

Each day, many go not to sleep without entering the den to read what was scribbled. This distinguished recognition is clear evidence of your tireless effort in making your country, Africa and the World a better place.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Let the ink in the den never dry up, so that we won't stop savoring the wisdom encrypted in the scribbles.

Who can be surprised at this pleasant outcome? The scribbles in the den have had untold stories from the lion and about the lion as if to confirm Achebe's proverb that " until the hunter produces his own historian,the story of the hunt shall always glorify the hunter"
Congrats Brother. Those awards always come sometimes inadvertently to remind us that even in the land of the iguanas and bats there are still some ears that listen and eyes that see.
