CiB wins Best UK Blog 2008

Hearty and much deserved congratulations to Created in Birmingham for being named Best UK Blog 2008. Established a few years ago with the aim of bringing together the creative communities of Birmingham, it remains one of the few independent sites recognising that Birmingham audiences also like to know what's going on around the rest of the West Midlands. This is especially important for a city like Lichfield that is only 19 miles away and at one end of the central train route. They've been very kind to the Lichfield Festival over recent years, drawing grass roots, industry and blogland attention to what happens here, which I both personally and professionally appreciate. The fact that they received over 40% of the votes shows that everyone tapped into CiB really values the time, energy and commitment that the CiB team put in. Congratulations guys. May your blog rule for a long time to come.

Thanks very much! Obviously the CiB remit is Birmingham-centric but the unspoken policy has generally been that if there's something big/interesting happening a little further afield then it's worth a mention - for me, the Lichfield Festival easily fell within that criteria.

All the best with it, and thanks again.
