The 2009 Weblog Awards are now open, and you can submit your nomination on their comment threads, including … best comic strip!

Nominate your favorite webcomic here!

Randall Monroe’s xkcd is the current champ, winning the award in 2008 and 2007. Will 2009 be the year of the three-peat? Or can your favorite webcomic be the new star for 2009? Nominations are open until November 20. The path to Weblog Award winner begins … now!

(Also, I tooted my own horn for “Best Hidden Gem.” Because.)
