I think Grey haired nomads would like to second my nomination of TraceyDoxey. They are big fans of hers. I will send a message to them, to make sure they see this thread. 😊

I'm sure we have all been enchanted by the pure quality of Tracey Doxey's writing in recent times. She provides us with a unique insight into her mind, encapsulating the finer details of life. Thank you Tracey. I have no hesitation is seconding Mell's nomination.
See Tracey on: TIme Brimming - On the roof of my Kitchen

I'm going to add Lilliram to my nomination list; for her sheer enthusiasm for travel and lifelong learning. Thank you Lilli for sharing your thrill of life and your great family with us - and for dipping your feet into the deep and muddy waters of poetry!
Surprised you are not already up there in the Hall of Fame. Let's put that right.

Re #20

Chris and Nikki have been very popular, but unfortunately will have to wait until next year, as they only joined TB in 2010. Reply to this

Ok, sorry for not highlighting properly the nominees, but on a bad computer with not great connection...off the beach in Watamu!

I nominate Chris and Nikki for 2012!! Oh yes!!

I nominate Liliram for 2009 and 2010....finally Lili you get there! You should receive a Super Hall of Fame award.

I nominate Viajeroy Pinoy...guys, he has been to 111 countries and so few of us are nominating him! Maybe Gil should start also to nominate himself.

I nominate Dribbleman. I'm actually jaleous that I was not th first one to nominate him.... no much internet the last 3 days for me...but more nice diving and way too much sun.

And I nominate all the bloggers who are taking the time to nominate others, reading others and who make TB the great site it is. D MJ Blinkey aren't they actually Hall of Fame? If not, they receive my first nomination.

To all those who enjoyed being nominated and received the Hall of Fame in 2009, I propose you start rewarding your fellow TB...most of the awards in 2009 where actually not much as most of us got only nominated by only one member.

And finally, I nominate Jo trouble. She would not accept one last year, but she is doing an amazing job on TB, so please, vote with me for her.

More to come...once back home on Tuesday! Reply to this

Feel honored (and shy) with those nominations. Many thanks. Means a lot to me.

I have long been a fan of JonathanCampion and am quite surprised he has not been HOF awardee yet. His literary narratives are always a joy to read. The details in his writings compel you to read it more than just once.

thedribbleman is another interesting blogger. So much substance in his blogs.

And of course, who wouldn't enjoy the blogs and photographs in all the blogs written by D MJ Binkley

Let me also add cabochick--- hers are hilarious, fun-loving adventures which i always enjoy!

Jo Trouble deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Besides her blogs, she has made TravelBlog contributions worth this HOF AWARD. Yes, to Jo Trouble

And not to forget..........Viajerong Pinoy. Gil is forever traveling and regularly shares his adventures and wonderful photography with us.

I'm home soon from this trip, so more nominations to follow, but... I would like to nominate deleted_116683 as they always combine exceptional writing with beautiful photographs from my favourite part of the world, Asia. They are sensitive adventurers who write with whit and intelligence; the kind of blogs that inspire you to hit the road, in their case on a dirty old Enfield. Reply to this

deleted_116683 - I'll second them, great photos and equally good stories.

Sorry I can't attach links I'm on Travelblog on my phone.

I cannot believe Jo Trouble is not already in the hall of fame, definitely another nomination from me for her.

And Cabochick, another I thought was already in the hall of fame, she deserves it great blogs & great pictures. Reply to this

My goodness, you are correct Jo Trouble is not in the Hall of Fame!

I have been doing some research and have found a whole lot of people who are eligible, but are not in the Hall of Fame: cabochick, zephyrbc, TravelInPink, josworld and The Dangling Carrot are not there either

Also missed is thecrashpacker - gosh this guy has some good blogs. Also missing is MisterMunkey who could have the honour of being the first mascot to receive the Hall of Fame Award. Reply to this

I nominate lurpak34

An energetic and ambitious blogger. He wants to write a book, so keep an eye on the best seller lists. You might see him there some time. 😊 Reply to this

Oh, definitely thecrashpacker : how could he have been missed last year? I frankly assumed he's HOF already.

And yes, to josworld - her blogs have so much insights and good writing skills too. Reply to this

I Would like to nominate NicD - Nicole Douglas as being an inspiring traveller who gives a detailed report of each country and also an idea of the costs involved. The photos were truly amazing and if the positive verbal description didn't get you in, then the amzing photos do! Reply to this

Hi Leiah,

Just go to the blogger's profile page, and copy the blogger number - looks something like [blogger=1234], then paste it here.

Unfortunately Nate and Jessie only joined us last year, so don't yet qualify for Hall of Fame nomination. Next year!

EdVallance- coz hes so hardcore! Reading his blog never fails to make me go OMG why would anyone want to do that to themself? Hes like MTVs Jackass on steroids sometimes.

Viajerong Pinoy- He just takes you everywhere. Even Antarctica! And hes got some hardcore moments too like the one in DRC! Although its been a while since we last heard from him. But he told me hes gonna go diving with whalesharsks in Donsol this April and I cant wait for that!

liliram- love tita lilis memoirs of Europe when she was younger. And her last entry! Diving with whalesharks and she cant even swim. Thats cool

Sorry I dont know how to highlight im a bit techno challenged.
