Medieval History
Announcing the first annual Praemium Ephemeridis Aetheriae Auctoribus awards (Award for Authors of Ethereal Diaries). Ok, I'm not that caffeined (rhymes with fiend) yet, so if you have a better name or acronym, write in. Anyway, here's the deal. Nominate the best medieval blog *entry* of the year that is not one written by you. So: medieval, an entry, written by someone other than the person nominating. Here are some categories I've thought of:
Award for Best Blog Entry of the Year
Award for Blog Entry that Fueled Research
Award for Blog That Best Serves the Medieval Community
Recognition for Best Electronic Article on a Medieval Topic
Award for Best Entry Making Fun of Ourselves
Write suggestions and nominations to larsprec AT gmail dot com
I'll collate and between the 25th and the 1st announce things that are gaining votes and announce those whom we wish to recognize after the first of the year.
The prize contains nothing other than the approbation of fellow medievalists.
