| Hi everyone, Time to pay it forward, people, in honor of the best bloggers you know: Who should be honored as a BlogHer '11 Voice of the Year? BlogHer's Voices of the Year is not a popularity contest, hat-tip to Katherine Stone's* wonderful column this week: "On Blogging, Popularity Contests & Why I QUIT!" In our annual tradition, BlogHer will honor 100 writings, 20 in each of these categories -- and three in each category will be selected to read from the main stage at BlogHer '11: The Categories HUMOR: You know who's really funny? You are. Submit your funniest posts or nominate the ones that made you laugh so hard you woke the baby / scared your co-workers / got kicked out of the coffee shop. NICHE: This category is for writers who have cornered the market on something particular outside the big, mainstream blog "verticals". If you have a blog post that illuminates the unusual or the distinctive, this is the category for you! LIFE: We want to read essays about the joys, sorrows, challenges, and rewards of everyday life, told by distinctive voices. VISUAL: Do you illustrate your blog posts with your own photos, drawings, homemade gifs, or SuperPaint masterpieces? Your time has come. Strong photo essays that tell a story with little or no accompanying text are welcome, too. PERSPECTIVES: You're persuasive, opinionated, and smart. Give us your best blog posts about the issues you are passionate about. So get out your hankies, massage your funny bones and help us shine a spotlight on the bloggers whose voices made your year. Thanks! * Nope, Katherine Stone and I are not related. But when I read her writing I wish we were! |
