Congratulations to all the winners and the folks that were nominated.

Now, I personally don’t understand the reason for the name change from Horizon Awards to CJYou Awards. I thought that CJ had some good branding going with the original name, but that’s just one woman’s opinion.

I didn’t attend CJU this year because it started the day after my 60-mile breast cancer walk and a couple of days before BlogWorld. As I didn’t receive a press pass for it, I decided to spend a couple of days home with my family and head off to BlogWorld instead.

That being said, I don’t have pictures to share with you nor will their be any coverage of the event in the next FeedFront Magazine.

You can however get more information on the 2008 CJYou award winners, by going to www.cj.com/affiliatemarketingawards.
