The Brass Crescent Awards have concluded! Here are the runners-up (Honorable Mention). Note that Mr. Moo stands out as having won in three categories, which I believe is a BCA record!
Congrats to all of our Honorable mention winners!
At Muslim Matters – one of the nominees for Best Group Blog in this year’s Brass Crescent Awards – an interesting discussion thread is developing where they take the Awards to task for promoting (in their view) overly “progressive” blogs instead of traditional ones.
One of the comments expresses surprise that Muslim Matters was “left in” the Awards, making the assumption that the selection of the Awards nominees is done with an explicit agenda in mind. That’s simply false; the methodology for the Awards is very straightforward and public. We invite everyone to comment on our methodology and suggest improvements.
UPDATE: Discussion at Talk Islam on this topic. Please feel free to join the debate there, especially if you agree that the Awards are unfairly balanced towards one group or another, we need to hear everyone’s views!
Thanks to you, we’re well on our way to having the highest number of votes ever in a Brass Crescent Awards contest. And just in case you don’t think voting will make a difference, we can tell you that in the majority of contests in this year’s BCA, the top two vote-getters are separated by only a few votes. So, be sure to visit the main BCA page and cast your vote now! Polls are open until December 19th.
The Brass Crescent Awards for 1429 are now officially underway. Voting phase has begun, so go vote at brasscrescent.org!
Cast your vote now!
