2015 Sheenazing Awards are now CLOSED

 Voting is now CLOSED for the 2015 Sheenazing Awards! 
One vote per reader, please!

The Sheenazing Blogger Awards get their name from Venerable Fulton J. Sheen, who 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. They are a fun way to celebrate the excellence of the Catholic blogosphere and honor Venerable Sheen.

There will be a winner and a runner up in each category. 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:



Except it will say "Winner"

The Rules:
1 - Nominations were only 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. The SAABM and I did our best to make sure that nominated blogs were orthodox. If we missed something please email me.

2 - Nominations that did not include URL and name may not have made it to the final ballot. We do our best.



3 - If a blogger has won in a category in the previous two years they cannot win again this year in that same category and therefore will not be on the ballot for those categories. 

4 - A blog must receive at least three (3) nominations in order to make it to the final ballot. Blogs with fewer than three nominations will be included in an Honorable Mentions list.

5 - This is for fun, so have fun!


6 - *Several websites with multiple contributors were nominated for various categories. After speaking with the Sheenazing Awards Advisory Board Members it was decided to create a new category for such sites. To qualify for this category a site must have various bloggers writing content and those contributors are not related and/or best friends. So Like Mother, Like Daughter, which is written by a mother and her daughters, would still qualify for the blog categories but Epic Pew, which is written by various people who might not actually know one another only qualified for the Best Blog with Multiple Contributors. And in the end, this isn't a science - it's just a stay at home mom doing her best while her kids nap and watch Netflix.

  11. Hi Bonnie! According to the official rules, if a blog is nominated less than 3 times it is included in honorable mention. Is this right or wrong? No I didn't nominate myself-ha!

    ReplyDelete
  12. What a great list of blogs to check out! Thanks for sharing all these nominations - I look forward to seeing who the big winners will be!

  17. I am 100% completely shocked. Baffled. Falling out of my chair. Wondering if I entered an alternate reality? Coming in and out of consciousness?..... from finding my blog nominated! NOMINATED?!! Wow. I can't believe there are 3 or more people out there to nominate me! How exciting! I feel so honored to be included. Thank you for putting this together, Bonnie!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Thanks for all you do, Bonnie! I don't mean to sound stupid, but if you are going to mention Real Housekeeping on the list, it would be fair to include a link to it. It is a mag but it also is a website and/ or blog with an actual url, right? Thanks for including it/ us.

  19. So first my jaw dropped, then I did a double take, then I shouted "WHAT!!!!!!!" as I was scrolling through the list and saw that my blog was nominated. In case anyone was wondering such a reaction is in fact not conducive to nursing a baby to sleep.

    Thank you, Bonnie, for all the hard work you do organizing this! I am really looking forward to discovering lots of great new blogs to read!

    I did notice that my blog Halfkindled.com was listed twice in the Best Under-Appreciated blog, and just wanted to let you know.

  22. Humbled and honored to be listed with such fine peers. Hats off to you Bonnie for organizing this. What a smorgasbord of blogs!

  25. ...it is fun looking at some new blogs- thanks for this!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Yes. Ditto to what everyone is saying. My favorite part is finding new blogs to read. I know the "under appreciated" list is a bear, but totally worth exploring. Thank you Bonnie :)

  27. Where is Camp Patton on all these lists??

    1. Good question! Grace was nominated a bunch but only in categories that she'd already won in. (The same happened with Jennifer Fulwiler.) In order to spread the love a bit a rule was created that if you won in the past two years you are not eligible in the same category this year. Next year Grace and Jen can both be back on the ballot. :)

  28. I'm flatly stunned and genuinely delighted to have been nominated! It brings me joy to know I'm not actually just shouting into the void. Congratulations to all the nominees, appreciated and under!

  30. Thanks for all the work that you do, Bonnie! I can only imagine how much time it takes you to pull this all together. I was shocked to find my blog, Saint Affairs, in the under-appreciated category. That is the best category to find new blogs in! I am off to check them all out! :)

    ReplyDelete
  31. Thank you Bonnie! Count in the number of humbled bloggers on this list. Congratulations all around! Some people on the Internet like me, hooray!
