Nominations Will Soon Open for the 2011 About.com Readers’ Choice Awards

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to let you all know about a new awards program we’re running on About.com. It’s called the Readers’ Choice Awards, and it will showcase the best products, features and services in dozens of categories across the entire About.com network of sites.

On my Agnosticism/Atheism site, I will be accepting nominations for several "best of" categories:

Best Agnostic or Atheist Book of 2010
Best Agnostic or Atheist Blog
Best Agnostic or Atheist Podcast
Best Agnostic or Atheist Website
Best Agnostic or Atheist Social Networking Website
Best Agnostic or Atheist Forum
Best Agnostic or Atheist to Follow on Twitter
Best Agnostic or Atheist Facebook Page
Best Agnostic or Atheist Ad

I thought some of you might be interested in nominating Atheist Nexus in the Social Networking category.

This page explains the process and will also have the nomination form:

To learn more about the overall awards program visit http://awards.about.com .

Nominations will open on January 13 and run until Feb. 4; voting will run from Feb. 11 through March 8, with winners announced March 15. There's no prize -- just the bragging rights that come with getting recognized by the readers of one of a leading websites owned by The New York Times Co.

Let me know if you have any questions...

I know a bunch of our readers at AtheismResource.com said they nominated us. Let us know when they voting starts and we will spread it around to our folks for you. We look forward to being considered! We are new to the "atheist block" but have already had 150,000 readers in 143 countries... in only 2 and a half months. We love this community. Thanks for putting these awards together.

Adam: Keep in mind that only the top five or so of all nominees in a category will be "finalists" for the final voting. So make sure people in your community know to nominate you in order to ensure that you are in that group. It would be a shame if lots of people wanted to vote for you but held back thinking that there was no need to add their nominations.

Good luck!
