About this award:

The Libester Blog Award is a virtual award given to bloggers by bloggers, originated in Germany to recognize and/or discover new bloggers, welcome them to the blogging world. It follows the principles of chain marketing and hence this seems like a novel gesture in my opinion.
Most bloggers are voluntary writers contributing content, creativity for no monetary gain. 
The basic concept is to recognize new bloggers and help promote them! 
The benefit is that you get to connect with other bloggers and get some promotion, too!
A win win for all who choose to participate!
