NOT THE HOMESCHOOL BLOG AWARDS
This one I don’t mind promoting at all.
“Not the Homeschool Blog Awards” (not their official name) needs help designing a logo. The contest is open to HEKs with a 1st prize of $100. Details here.

But..there’s always a but, isn’t there? But, the actual nominees must be from “family friendly” blogs. I couldn’t find a definition. You’d think all homeschool blogs would be family friendly, but I’ve heard mine isn’t. |

I didn’t see that. I saw that the prizes (assuming there are any sponsors) would need to be family friendly. You could donate a signed copy of one of your books. Is biochemistry family friendly? 🙂 |

I’d like to call for a moratorium on silly blog awards. We are quickly approaching a point where anybody can be an award winner. As Dash Incredible said, “If everybody is special, then nobody is”. |

You are right- I will pull the family friendly comment out… I never thought of it that way. I really just wanted a way to give homeschooling kids a chance to enter contest, show off their skills and make it be fun… plus I do need a new logo… and I do want to open up awards to ALL homeschoolers and unschoolers who tend to get left out of these sorts of things… rather than usual fare… |

Yes, lets call a halt to these silly awards – right after I win one! |

I see, Chris– pulling up the ladder after you. 🙂 I probably wouldn’t have posted on these were it not for the $100 for the kids. Nothing in particular against these awards, but the war last year left a bad taste. |

I’m totally in favor of anybody mocking the blog awards like I did last year. That was my most commented post ever. I think everybody should do their personal blog awards, no voting allowed. |

Okay, yeah, but I want one in which I’m voted most popular something. I’m all about peer acceptance, duh. |

Hey Doc, I’d be honored to award you Snook’s Sweet Waffle Kohn if it weren’t so um, phallic . . . |
