Oh my a music blog contest....

No, not that kind of contest. The only thing you might win is a feeling of self-worth from helping out a friend.

(Via Hey Nielsen)

(UPDATED 11/13) Following the success (good for us, good for bloggers) of our First Annual TV Blog Contest, we're launching our First Annual Music Blog Contest on Monday, November 12. With the help of our friends at Billboard.com, we've nominated a heap of U.S. blogs that serve up reviews, features, downloads, and more. Check out the complete list of blogs after the jump and the rules here.

You must be a member to vote. Membership is free!

A big thanks to Billboard.com's Jaded Insider Blog for their help and to our newest H!N teammate Sarah Epler who researched all of the sites and stats, and has not taken her headphones off in a week.
