I have decided to host the Tribute Awards-South Africa, for
Muslim women bloggers that are making a difference with their words.
For those of you who are familiar with this blog, you’ll
know that we had two previous Tribute Awards, but this time it will be slightly
different, and here’s why.
This time the Tribute Award nominees will be restricted to
South African blogs only. I apologise to all my international blogging sisters
who are doing good things and spreading positivity, but this time I decided
that it would be nice to motivate South African bloggers. Please do join in the
voting though as this will be open to anyone.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So here’s how the awards will work:
Nominees can be sent in by anyone, but they have to meet the
following criteria:
-
Nominated blogs should be by a South
African Muslim woman (because as you can see my blog is a tribute to Muslim
women). Exceptions may be made if a blog is regarded as making a positive
difference to all people with its general messages.
-
The blog has to be aiming to make a
positive difference- that means we have to be able to learn and reflect on
the writing. It should be discussing or illustrating important messages for
example.
-
It should be uplifting- we have to be
able to learn something that will help us improve our lives.
-
The genre doesn’t matter- it can be a
fictional story, a motivational blog, real life story, even a photo blog, as
long as it’s aiming to convey some sort of positive message and making people
think about things differently.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Process:
Nominations should be
e-mailed to zhassem1@yahoo.com by
the 4th of January 2014.
Please note that a
short motivation for your nomination has to be provided and I have the final
say in deciding whether a nominated blog fits the criteria above. Please also
add a link to your nominated blog.
Inshaa-Allah on
Sunday 5th January 2014 the final list of nominees will be put up
and public voting will take place for one week, i.e. until 12 January 2014.
Winners will be
announced on my blog on Monday 13th January 2014, Inshaa-Allah.
The first place
winner will be gifted with a copy of my book, “Butterfly Wings”.
There will be two
runner-up’s who will be mentioned as well.
SO, DON’T DELAY, SEND
