This is a little late–I was out of town last week–but congrats to all the winners of the 2009 Maroc Blog Awards! You all definitely deserve recognition.
Robin Des Blogs, winner of the Blog of the Year and Best French Blog categories, wrote about attending the ceremony and winning the award:
Dire que jusqu’à ce matin j’ étais un citoyen ordinaire, juste un mec avec plein d’ambitions et de rêves comme tout le monde…Ce soir, je rentre chez moi avec cette impression de pouvoir tout faire, non pas parce que je me suis découvert quelque talent caché ou des forces mystérieuses, mais parce que j’ai gagné au Maroc Blog Awards…deux titres dont l’un n’est tout autre que le prestigieux blason de meilleur blog marocain de l’année 2009, rien que ça… Tu parles d’une soirée !
