Listen With Monger Awards 2017 - The Shortlist
Welcome one and all (well, not
all. Not you, at the back) to the third annual Listen With Monger awards. This
year, however, LWM is building the tension with a whole announcement thing on
the shortlist, just to spread the tension a little bit. As always, the only rules are that you have to have been featured on the blog in the year of our lord, 2017 and you can't have won the award before. There are also a few
new categories so pour yourself a glass of something festive and have a look at
the lucky few who have made it over the line in to the final round:
