Tim Montgomerie at ConservativeHome.com has launched another new initiative, a Conservative Awards event. Tim says: "ConservativeHome.com's Inaugural Awards will seek to recognise the heroes of the conservative movement and, by placing a particular emphasis on internet technologies, encourage a stronger and more dynamic movement." The four stages of the Awards programme are described in the graphic. The programme will conclude in June at a ceremony in London where one of the awards will be presented by Iain Duncan Smith. Stage one begins today with an invitation to readers of ConservativeHome to decide upon the awards categories. Eight to ten categories appear a sensible number and some suggestions for categories are listed below:A campaigning organisation…
A blogger…
A parliamentarian…
A columnist…
An author….
A think tank…
A broadcast programme…
A local hero...
An international achiever...
Wooden spoon of the year...
However, in true democratic style, Tim is asking his readers if they think there should be different categories. So if you have a suggestion, leave a comment below and I will pass them on to him or go to this LINK.

Got your eye on the blog prize?
I did suggest he had a category of best Conservative podcast done by a Northerner from Chesterfield born on St George's day, who is doing the marathon this year - but I think he may think its too general a category and would have far too many nominations. :o)
I'd lose IDS but that's just a pesonal view.Or at least don't let him speak too much.
