The top blogger in each category will walk away with a laptop and a trophy designed by Singapore's multi-disciplinary artist Tan Swie Hian. In addition, the top three most voted bloggers across all categories will also win a LG mobile phone each.
The winner in each category will be determined by 30% public votes and 70% scorings by a panel of professional judges - media industry veteran, Man Shu Sum; The Theatre Practice Co-Artistic Director, Kuo Jian Hong; and acclaimed movie director, Kelvin Tong.
PS - Actually I would prefer to compete in the Education or Nostalgia category if there was one. But anyway, I am quite happy to have come this far, and even if I don't get into the top 3, it's fine for me.
A big thank you to all readers and contributers.
By the way, if you are new to this blog; perhaps you would want to check the following 3 posts that I submitted for the competition. And be sure to read the comments as well. Some of my readers contribute gems.
Besides the above my personal favourites are:
But I think the most widely read article judging from the statistics were:
Days of Black and White TV and Singapore’s First Fast Food Restaurant which was jointly written with Peter.

There's no Nostalgia nor Education category when I checked. Anyway, you have been voted. Cheers.
How's Chun See gonna divide his prize between himself, Peter, Charles Jordan and many others?
Hi Mr. Lam,
I came across your blog when I googled Princess Elizabeth Estate, Singapore. GMY is result no.1 of the search, wow.
I also grew up at Princess during the 70s. We stayed at Block 13. I ran the google search to gather some material for a post in my blog. Nice to know that an old kampung resident is on blogosphere, although we may not have met each other during those days.
I've voted for you in the Blog Awards. Best of luck.
Welcome to GMY, Oldstock. I think you are misaken. The article, Pricess Elizabeth Estate was written by my friend Chuck Hio. I never stayed there before.
Congratulations for being the top 10 finalists! Voted too.
Congrats, Chun See. You deserved it, I mean them - the votes, the award, the laptop or the mobile phone.
l have cast my vote for gmy already. can we cast the same vote every day?
Yes, you can vote once a day. Don't know why. Maybe they want to increase they hit rates.
right there is today's vote done, congratulations Chun See and I will try to vote every day (doesn't quite seem right but there you go).
And nice that you have the only really distinctive avatar to vote on - that old car, much loved dog
Hi, Mr. Lam
Congratulations.I have cast my vote in your favour.

good on you Chun See, you have got my vote, and I have told family , and friends to cast their votes to , congratulations, all the best keeping my fingers crossed,
Brian, Tom. Thanks for voting for me.
Wow. I feel so proud to have foreigners voting for me. Maybe the organisors should give extra weight to non-Spore voters yah? :)
I have discovered only in later years that we have our parents nostalgic genes running through us. After many years of pent-up emotion which somehow has to be released somewhere. It took business trip to Myanmar (formerly Burma) to kindled Chun See vivid memory of early Singapore, and thus GMY was borned. It deserves my full support and my vote as well.
Congrats on being chosen as a finalist! You have my support and vote. Keep on sharing!
Chun See, no extra weight to foreign voters - the wonder of the blogosphere is that we are all equal, and its very good to be sharing the excitement of this competition with you!
You have my vote :)
