Smarty Alert: The 2013 Charlotte Magazine BOB (Best of the Best) Awards are here!

We’re just going to go ahead and give a pink and green shout out to our friends at Charlotte Mag for bringing back the Best Local Parenting Blog category – woot, woot! Last year our awesome category must have mistakenly fallen off the list, but it’s back and we’re Smarty pumped!

We’d LOVE your pink & green vote! You know CSP loves us some BOB! Over the years, we have won at least one BOB each year (minus last year:-), and we’d love to continue the trend!

Charlotte Magazine’s 2013 BOB (Best Of the Best) Awards have the Voters’ Choice “Blogs+Media+Arts” Ballot open right now.

Here are the details:

1) Click here to vote. Scroll down to “blogs” and we qualify for the Best Local Parenting Blog category.

2) Remember, you have to vote for at least 25% of the ballot, so that means you have to vote for at least 5 categories. I’m sure you can dig something up out of your hat of tricks!

3) Voting ends March 24th.

4) This is just for fun – but leave a comment below with some tips on some of the trickier categories, like, best visual artist. I’m stumped! But I want to share the love!

Charlotte has some wonderful BOB gems to offer! All of us at Charlotte Smarty Pants would VERY much appreciate your support! Thanks in advance!

And don’t forget we have two awesome giveaways for you! Check ’em out!
