The Vuelio Blog Awards Judges for 2018

The judging panel for the Vuelio Blog Awards has been announced for 2018.

The Vuelio Blog Awards pride themselves on their independence – we don’t ask for nominations, we don’t make people ask for votes and we don’t require people to promote their participation. Our judging panel is a core to this independence – the judges each come from a different background, with different experiences, to choose winners who know they truly deserve their prizes.

The Vuelio Blog Awards are taking place on 30 November 2018 – tickets are still available on a first come first serve basis. Find out more here.

We are delighted to announce this year’s judging panel:
