The 5th annual Football Blogging awards took place last Thursday; an event dedicated to the recognition of the best footballing blogs and aspiring journalists from around the globe.<\/p>\n

However, the question remains whether football blogging will continue its upward trajectory in popularity and eventually challenge the status quo of the industry or continue to be the voice of those outside the mainstream? <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This was a consistent theme reiterated throughout the awards ceremony by the speakers, guest and nominees', each discussing the growing influence blogs are having on the way people are interacting with football.<\/p>\n

The numbers back up this claim as 300,000 fans voted this year for their favourite blogs, more than twice the number who voted the previous year and four times as much as the year before that. <\/p>\n

The increase of fan interaction on social media directly correlates with the growth and prestige of the event, with this year’s award ceremony being biggest ever with over 700 people in attendance and household names such as Adidas and Budweiser sponsoring the event. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There was a glitz and glamour to the FBAs, yet there was a light-heartedness to the proceedings, as people were more than happy to converse opinions, ideas and mutual admiration. It allowed burgeoning bloggers and aspiring journalists to make mutually beneficial connections and rub shoulders with seasoned professionals. There was even chance to test your skills at football table tennis before the awards commenced.<\/p>\n

For each award there were two winners, one voted for solely by the fans and the other from a judging panel consisting of BBC's Phil McNulty, ex-footballer Danny Webber, former Everton Ladies goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis and more.<\/p>\n
