The "SportsBiz" Guest Blog Winners

Last week, we announcedwe were allowing our readers to take over the site by inviting you to submit your blog to be published on “SportsBiz.”

We received over 100 submissions and it certainly was a tough cut.

For some reason, the most well-written, most passionate articles came from people who wanted to talk about ticket prices, but we also received other insightful blogs.

In the end, the submissions were so good we decided on 14 bloggers whose posts will run from May 14-25.

Anyone who sent us a post who did not become a finalist is obviously welcome to publish their work elsewhere.

Thank you for your hard work and your readership. If this is successful, we’ll look to do this again in the future.

• Sandra Carreon-John, M&C Saatchi Sport & Entertainment
