2008 VegNews Veggie Awards

Posted by Jill Harris Aug 23, 2008

Until August 31, 2008, you can vote for your favourite vegetarian people, places and things. The annual VegNews Veggie Awards is still accepting votes!

For those not familiar with VegNews Magazine, it is a USA-based vegan advocacy-type publication that publishes stories, product reviews, nutrition and animal rights articles. While their quality is lacking at times (possibly due to their unwillingness to pay their writers), it is the only major Vegetarian/Vegan publication – that I know of – in North America. And it is very well-known within vegetarian circles.

Survey Categories

I live in Ontario, Canada, and some of the categories were 100% American – so I just didn’t answer those questions. But there are plenty of ways to put your country, city or town on the map as well. Most categories like (“Favourite Vegetarian Restaurant”, “Favourite Faux Meat”) have space to write in your choice, and categories like cosmetics and favourite website obviously cross borders.

Prizes

VegNews is offering some great prizes, from a trip to New York City to vegan sweets and the ever-chic bags from Montreal-based Matt & Nat.

Support Vegetarian Publications

Even if you are not a VegNews reader, responding to the survey is a great way to give kudos to your favourite cookbooks, recipe sites, celebrities and restaurants. Vote now!
