My only concern is that most of TC/GO/RWW/VB readers are from the Bay area and there is a much higher exposure of Bay Area companies, proportionally, on these same blogs, which probably means only Bay Area companies will get nominated. I hope that you guys take this into consideration and carefully review companies from Seattle, Boston, NY, etc. I think this is a great idea.

It would be better if the judges decided. It would be more fair. Otherwise it seems to be a popularity contest. Whoever gets more people or "friends" to vote for their startup will gets nominated.
