You might have heard that tomorrow (April 15, 2009) is the last day to nominate blogs for the eduStyle annual awards.
This year again, I’m supporting the blog category of the awards.
As I explained in a previous post, anybody can nominate blogs in the student and institutional categories by just following the instructions on this web page.
For both categories, there will be 2 winners: the people’s choice and the choice of a panel of judges (including yours truly).
For the best higher ed blog award, it’s even easier. You just need to fill out a simple online form with the name and web address of your favorite blog. You can even nominate several blogs.
In this last case, this is only a popularity contest as the Collegewebeditor.com Best Higher Ed Blog award will only be awarded by a popular vote (but, there’s nothing wrong with that, right? ;-)
You need to nominate higher ed blogs though by tomorrow (April 15, 2009). In the sake of helping you with your picks (hey, especially since THIS blog is excluded from the contest because it has already its name on the award), here’s a list of 10 deserving higher ed blogs (in no particular order) that haven’t – to my knowledge – ask for your nomination yet.
I’ve taken the time to set up the links for you, so you just have to click on the “Nominate it” link(s) and hit submit to nominate any (or all of them):
BUT, FIRST MAKE SURE YOU’RE LOGGED IN IN THE EDUSTYLE WEBSITE.

I’m a new kid on the block in higher ed blogs, but feel that I have a lot to offer and provide a Canadian spin on higher ed web marketing/recruiting.
Karine – thank you for setting up the links for this! I’m grateful for the mention (and although I haven’t blogged about the eduStyle awards, would love to be nominated by others).
