Brass Crescent Awards 2009

The Brass Crescent Awards are back!

What’s that?

The BCAs were started in 2004 with the purpose of promoting the best writing of the Muslim web and exposing them to a greater number of readers. They are awarded annually based on the Islamic calendar. Nominations begin after Ramadan, with a panel of judges narrowing the nominees down to five in each category. Voting then begins and concludes shortly before Eid al-Adha, when the winners are announced.

How do the BCAs work?

Readers nominate their favorite blogs to the Brass Crescent Awards

A panel of judges will validate the pool of nominees to select the five finalists

Readers will then vote for the top blogs in each category

We do not select or deny nominees on the basis of ideology, as this conflicts with our goal of highlighting the diversity of the Muslim blogosphere. So long as nominees consider themselves to be working in the best interests of Muslims and/or Muslim/non-Muslim relations, and are accepted as such by the bulk of their readers, they will be eligible for nomination to the BCA, in the spirit of the Qur’anic injunction to “compete, then, with one another in doing good works” (5:48).

The judging process

Readers nominate their favorite blogs to the Brass Crescent Awards.
