In case you already don’t know “American Papist“, which is run by Thomas Peter’s, is a great Catholic blog that we at Domus Dei have linked to for some time. Now, American Papist is up for the ‘07 blogging scholarship. Here is the posting announcing the nomination:
I received some exciting news this morning - I’ve been nominated as a top 20 finalist in the 2007 Blogging Scholarship contest, out of a pool of hundreds of applicants! Voting will end in 20 days (October 28th). Looking at the list, I believe I’m the *only* Catholic blogger nominated.
Voting takes only a few seconds. Just first visit this page –>
http://www.collegescholarships.org/blog/2007/10/08/vote-for-the-winner-of-the-2007-blogging-scholarship/… and then vote for my name (Thomas Peters) - I’m second from the bottom. No registration required! Feel free to leave a nice comment below explaining your vote. The first-place winner receives $10k, and I believe they have other awards as well. Here’s the entire list of nominees.
The top-voted finalists receive a scholarship to put towards their education. Needless to say, every little bit helps. And this could be more than a bit. I’m studying moral and biblical theology in Washington DC here.
So please, go vote, and tell your friends!
If AmP wins, Catholic blogging - and especially Catholic Youth blogging - will receive greater attention and be able to reach more people. And that’s an awesome goal. I’d like to post more on this subject soon, but for now I figured I’d just give everyone a head’s up about this opportunity. If the St. Blog’s community gets behind this I think we have a really good chance!
Thank you!! Back to blogging…
