Thank you to everyone who nominated your favorite blogs and bloggers! This year there were two times as many nominations as last year, which is so cool!
Voting for the Sheenazing Awards will begin mid-week.
Well folks, here it is: the nomination form for the second annual Sheenazing Awards!
The Sheenazing Blogger Awards are named for Venerable Fulton J. Sheen. Sheen was amazing at using the newest forms of media to communicate the beauty of the Catholic Church and his love of Christ to the world. I'm positive that Sheen would be a blogger were he alive today and that he is in Heaven, totally approving of this award.
The Rules:
1 - Nominations will only be taken for blogs written by Catholics who are faithful to the teachings of the Catholic Church and believe that Pope Francis is the true pope. Bloggers currently enrolled in RCIA are also eligible. The "Best Blog by a Non Papist" category is exempt from this rule.
2 - Nominations should include the blog title and URL if the title and address are not the same.
3 - You can nominate up to two (2) blogs in each category but you don't have to nominate any if you are unfamiliar with a certain category.
4 - You can nominate yourself - no one but you and God will know.
5 - This is for fun, so have fun!
I'll gather nominations through Friday. Over the weekend I will share with the bloggers that they have been nominated and official voting will then begin on Monday, the 20th . Each nominee will be provided with the following button to remind their readers to vote.
The winners will earn a firm virtual handshake, the pride in knowing that they've been named the Best of something by a fairly obscure blog, and the right to display the following on their site:
So go nominate the Coolest Blogger, the Smartest Blog, the Funniest Blog, and so on!
Yay! Question: Is there a way to know how many followers a blog has if they're Wordpress or don't have the widget displayed?
ReplyDeleteThat's a good question and I have no idea what the answer is but if they are on Bloglovin' or something like that you could see how many followers they have there. It's not an exact science but these are just for fun so we'll just do the best we can. :)
DeleteSounds good :) You are a rockstar for doing this. Thank you so much for the work that goes into it and for giving us a fun outlet during these long winter days!
DeleteSo excited to participate!!! :)
ReplyDeleteWOOT!!!! Finally something to help me through the winter doldrums!
ReplyDeleteBonnie- it is very nice of you to do this. In your free time. Because, I am sure you have lots. Or not.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited!!!!
ReplyDeleteYay Bonnie! I love those buttons!
ReplyDeleteThese awards are how I found so many of my favorite bloggers last year. Thanks for hosting, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteExcited to get some nominating on! Annnd I'm actually eligible this year. =)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bonnie! I love that you take the time to do this :) If you need any help, let me know!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mary Wilkerson--in your free time, all 18 seconds of it, you put all this together. Mad props and my online gratitude are yours. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to do this. You are quite "sheen-axing" yourself!
ReplyDeleteThat should be "sheenazing". I'm on my husband's MacBook and it is auto-correcting like mad.
DeleteWoo hoo! Rock and roll! I'm heading over to nominate the heck out of people right now.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bonnie for taking the time to do this! Thanks to you, I was introduced to several amazing Catholic bloggers last year via the awards. Love, love, love the buttons!!
ReplyDeleteLove this, Bonnie! It was so much fun to do last year! Pray for us, Venerable Fulton Sheen!
ReplyDeleteDitto on the appreciation! I don't write a blog, but love the round-up!
ReplyDeleteSo, I just submitted the form, with two blogs listed in some of the spaces. Then I realized maybe I should have submitted the form twice, instead. Should I do it over?
ReplyDeleteNope! I'm sorry that's confusing but you did it perfectly. Thank you!
DeleteExcuse me, Miss Bonnie...but your blog is so far from obscure. Mine on the other hand, haha...
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing these awards again, Bonnie. Question: on best by a non-papist, are we talking *any* blog or mom blogs or ... just checking! I don't want to be the only silly person nominating a food blog or something. :)
ReplyDeleteAny blog of any genre will work. Thanks for asking!
DeleteAnd maybe I should add a Creative Bog category next year for all the craft and cooking and decorating blogs... Or maybe that's too broad? Hmmmm.... I'll take feedback on this.
I think thats a great idea!
DeleteFood, crafting, back to basics living - Catholic style. :) Love those types of blogs!

ReplyDeleteOh, dear. I just see this now, and all I can think of is that Sheenazing is a lovely name for a baby girl. But I guess we'd hafta pronounce it SHEEna-zing. Like the singer. This all looks too great! thank you mucho for your creative spirit.
