We received quite a few nominations this year. Many of them have been nominated before, but a goodly number were entirely new submissions. Thanks to all who submitted entries or who spread word of the Awards this year. Due to upcoming events (namely Holy Week and Bright Week), voting will begin April 23rd. As nominations have continued to come in even after the initial April 1st date we will continue to accept them until voting begins. A fruitful Lent and blessed Pascha to you all!

Now entering the final week of nominations
This is the final week to nominate your favorite site, forum, or podcast. Some nominees have received numerous (in one case over a hundred) nominations. Thanks in part to the new Facebook page we've had quite a good turnout. If you have a blog, please take a moment to mention the Awards. The primary goal of this effort is to bring a higher profile to the Eastern Churches and spotlight those sites that do so effectively. Though, I'm told, the prizes are also appreciated.
Please remember to come back in November to vote!
