Brass Crescent Awards - Nominations

The Brass Crescent Awards, a joint project of altmuslim and City of Brass, is an annual awards ceremony that honours the best writers and thinkers of the Muslim blogosphere. Nominations are taken from blog readers, who then vote for the winners. They are now in their fourth year and are designed to celebrate Muslim bloggership and to promote its growth.

Now, as you my readers will know, I am nothing if not cheeky. And so, of course, I'd like you to nominate me and then vote for this blog so it can keep being heard out there and building recognition. It will only take about two minutes of your time (promise!). Nominations close on 9th November, so please visit soon!

All you need to do is:

1. Visit http://www.brasscrescent.org/

2. Scroll about half way down to the nomination form and fill in "Spirit21" (i mention it just to be sure :P)

3. Select one (or all) of the categories below

4. Click submit and spend the rest of the day with a fuzzy glow knowing you've done A Good Thing

If this blog is shortlisted I'll remind you to vote for the final winners.

BEST BLOG: This category honors the most indispensable, Muslim-authored blog there is. Period

BEST POST OR SERIES: Which single post or group of posts in the Islamsphere was the most original and important, above all the others?

BEST FEMALE BLOG: The woman's voice in Islam is equal to the man's, and in the Islamsphere we seek to make sure the female perspective is highlighted and given its rightful due. Which Muslim woman's blog has done the most to explore the role that women play within Islam and society?
