View a nominee's PersonalSpace, Blog or Tribs

A nominee's Personalspace is the profile page maintained by the nominee. Each nominee receives a personal space in the1000best domain. This space is available for either 3, 6 or 12 months from the date of purchase of the nomination. A nominee uses the personal space to share details about themselves with others. The PersonalSpace also has a section for information and images of the nominator - the person who gifted the nomination, along with the gift tribute message to the nominee from the nominator.
