American Life League has announced its 2010 pro-life blog award winners!
Drum roll, please!
First, the criteria, according to its site: "Pro-life Blog Awards exists to promote, encourage, impassion and reward pro-life bloggers. It also gives you access to the latest in pro-life news and information while supporting your favorite pro-life bloggers."
For the past several weeks ALL first took your nominations and then had you vote. Winners in the following categories were...
Best News and Reporting Award - Stand for Life
Pro-Life Instigator Award for Activism - Operation Rescue
Best Pro-Life Apologetics Award - Life Training Institute
Pro-Life Whistleblower Award - Pro-Life Defender
Pro-Life Unity Award - Fr. Frank's Blog
And congratulations to Best Overall Pro-Life Blog - Catholic Fire!
Catholic Fire has won a wonderful prize, courtesy of ALL: accommodations for 2 nights and 3 days at the Washington Court Hotel in downtown DC during the March for Life!
Awards will be given on January 21 in DC. Details are forthcoming. I'm honored to be the emcee!
Then on January 22, Katie Walker of ALL and the winners have been invited to serve as panelists at the Blogs for Life conference, being held at Family Research Council headquarters. Their topic: "How to host a winning pro-life blog," of course! More details forthcoming soon on that event, too.
Congratulations again to the Pro-Life Blog Award winners, and thanks to ALL for encouraging pro-life blogging by honoring its best and brightest.
Comments:
Congratulations to Jean Heimann at Catholic Fire and all the pro-life bloggers who won awards. Jean has a great quote by St. Catherine of Sienna at the top of her blog:
"If you are what you should be, you will set the whole world on fire. Let the truth be your delight...proclaim it...but with a certain congeniality.
How difficult that can be sometimes... Thanks for the reminder, Jean.
Posted by: Janet at December 21, 2009 5:38 PMCongratulations pro-life bloggers from LifeNews.com! We sure appreciate all you do!
Posted by: Steven Ertelt at December 21, 2009 5:50 PMI wonder if ALL noticed the irony in two of its winners. One blog winner is greatly feuding with the another. Had to laugh.
Posted by: LOL at December 21, 2009 5:54 PMWell, one is feuding, anyway. Looks like the other is thankfully more interested in pro-life work than sinking into pettiness. Good for them!
Posted by: Ally at December 21, 2009 6:53 PMI'm rather new to the pro-life blogging community. Who's feuding with whom, and why?
Posted by: Gerard Nadal at December 21, 2009 8:03 PMGerard, LOL is a pro-choice troll, but are you sure you want to get into all the fuss? ;-)
Congratulations to all the winners of the Pro-Life Awards.

Posted by: asrone at December 22, 2009 2:51 AMwell CAtholic Fire may have won, but good grief that wallpaper background is awful.
They need to change it. :(
Congratulations to the winners!
(*sigh*) I'm still hoping that Chelsea Zimmerman gets her due accolades, someday...
Posted by: Paladin at December 22, 2009 7:33 AMGerard, I don't even know who's feuding. Better off ignorant sometimes... :)
