Nominations Now Open for the Eighth Annual Brass Crescent Awards
Brass Crescent Awards recognizes long-time and new writers of the emerging Muslim blogosphere. What started in 2004 has now become an annual tradition that first starts with a nomination process followed by actual polling. There are numerous categories such as best blog, best writer, best non-Muslim blogger, best blog design, best post or series, best female blogger, best new blog, funniest blog, best Tweeter, best Facebook page and more.
It is important that you vote and encourage others to vote because the blogosphere is the new information front and it is crucial to cultivate sound writers that can shape the future of Islam in the world. I did a list of Muslim-American bloggers and it should be a good starting point if you don’t know who to nominate. I am always looking to add more bloggers to my list so if you know if someone not already on the list, please let me know.
DETAILS
Nominations open Wednesday, August 3 to Tuesday, September 6, 2011
Polls open Monday, September 27 to Friday, October 21, 2011
Winners announced on Eid al-Adha, around Sunday, November 6, 2011
