Collecting Nominations for the 2019 Brodie Awards!!

chanson,

2018-Brodies-200px I am just about to post the polls for X-Mormon of the Year — so now it’s also time to start on the Brodie Awards!!

The Brodie Awards are a fun little yearly activity intended to give some extra recognition and signal boost to the best LDS-interest content published/posted during the past year. I know I haven’t kept this blog as lively as I’d like, but I hope people are still interested in participating in nominating and voting for these awards. This is your opportunity to review your favorite pieces, find out about great works you may have missed, and even promote your own work!

As usual, I will start by posting a list of suggested categories (from last year), but the precise list of award categories depends on your suggestions. Please feel free to browse the sidebar for ideas on award categories we’ve used in the past for ideas. Below the suggested categories, I will post the nomination guidelines.

  • You are encouraged to nominate your own works. No one knows better than you do which pieces were your best. No more than two, though.
  • Please nominate works that first appeared during 2019.
  • Please try to nominate people and works that have some connection with Mormonism (eg. either the work touches on Mormonism, or the author is a current or former Mormon and/or is an active participant in our community).
  • A category must have at least three nominations in order to be included in the voting and awards phase.
  • You may suggest your own categories — however please do it as early as possible in the nominations process, to give others plenty of time to add nominations in your proposed categories.
  • Any other proposed changes to the categories or to the guidelines are welcome — feel free to discuss it in the comments.
  • The nominations will be open until mid-January, 2020, depending on my schedule. I will finalize the dates and categories and add my own nominations a few days before the nominations close and voting begins.

How to nominate: Just post your nominations as comment to this thread, but please include links to the works you nominate. If your nomination comment ends up in the spam filter, please email me (chanson dot exmormon at gmail dot com) and I will fish it out.

I look forward to reviewing the best works from 2019!!!

  35. I nominate myself for two works

    Best New Blog/Channel/Site – GreatAndSpacious.com has been revamped and is now more user friendly than ever. It is a resource for doubters to share with their loved ones in non-aggressive ways. It also doubles as a safe resource for believers to investigate some of the issues of their doubting friends or family member’s issues. I have announced my upcoming book, “Lone Will Be The Night” which is a guide on how to tell the most important people in your life that you’ve left the church. The book is coming April 2020 and will be free upon release.

    Best LDS-Culture Piece – My Apostate Live Tweet Sessions of General Conference. Every six months I subject myself to 10 hours of torment by listening to General Conference and live-tweeting my apostate’s commentary. This makes it so people can stay up with talks, quotes, and news without having to listen in themselves. I give suggestions on what talks people can say was their favorite if people ask, as well as give times where they can say, “I must have slept through that one.”

    Here are the highlights:
