The shortlist for this year’s Jasmine ‘Digital’ Award has just been released and I’m excited (make that: ‘ecstatically over the moon’) to announce that my name appears on it twice. I genuinely cannot believe my good fortune. My thanks go to the Jasmine judges for the tremendous honour, to Basenotes and Grant Osborne for continuing to publish my work and, of course, to all my readers for being such an all-round wonderful bunch. My heartfelt congratulations go out to all the other nominated writers.

UPDATE: 4th February 2014
All the shortlists for this year’s Jasmine Awards will be made public by Fragrance Foundation UK tomorrow. But in the meantime, here are the nominees for the other digital category, dubbed ‘Best Digital Experience’. The distinction made by the Fragrance Foundation between the two categories is that ‘Digital’ is concerned with “excellence in writing and originality” whereas ‘Best Digital Experience’ “is judged on creativity, style and content”.

Yah Yay! I have read the "The Power To Make Your Heart Kinder – Japan’s Kodo Ceremony Comes To London" several times. Outstanding for many reasons.
Jordan, thanks very much indeed 🙂
Congratulations. Very well deserved. I always really enjoy reading your blog.
Chris, that's very sweet of you, thank you.
You didn't really just dismiss the writing abilities of an entire category of nominees, did you?
Err… I certainly didn't mean to. I've re-read my post and I think I can see the sentence which might have led you to make your comment, Anon. I'll try to change it to make it clearer.
