Simon’s Jam Jar Wins ‘Best Male’ At The Blogger Awards 2014
I eventually scrolled down to the ‘Best Male’ category and had to do a double-take when I saw my own name and blog had been shortlisted. Not only was that surprising, it was also very humbling to be shortlisted alongside some of the best travel bloggers around.
Safe to say I was very chuffed with the news, and after the initial surprise subsided, my competitive trait kicked in, and I went to win it.
The incredible news is….I WON!!
At a fun awards evening on 16th April at the Jewel Bar, Piccadilly Circus, the winners were announced, and I collected my certificate and prize – a hike over the O2 Arena in London 🙂 With beer, wine, some fancy dress and a blow up shark doing the rounds, the other category winners and I promptly celebrated in style.

Congratulations to all the other winners, and all the other bloggers that were shortlisted. I also wouldn’t have won the award if it wasn’t for everyone who voted – friends, family and fellow bloggers – thank you!
Lastly, a big thank you to lowcostholidays for hosting the awards, and a great evening.
Give the blogs above a follow, and stay tuned for my O2 Arena hike post 🙂
Congratulations!!!
Thanks Jaklien 🙂
