January 15, 2008! Mark your calendars for the first Washington Horizons BlogStars! Awards
On January 15, the front page of each Horizons blog will be printed out to be judged for the Washington Horizons BlogStars! Awards.
The scoresheet will be posted by January 4 - there will be 6 awards: Best use of Videos, Best Use of Photos, Most Informative Posts about Horizons' activities (Horizons' Labels very important), Best Use of Links for the Community, Best Combination of Horizons & Community Information, and Best Overall Horizons Community Blog.
The purpose of the BlogStars! is to recognize the Blog Teams in the Washington Horizons Communities who give their time and talents to maintain an up-to-date community blog. Community blogs are a requirement of the Horizons Program.
Awards will be repeated every 4 weeks through June and each community is eligible for all categories every time - a community can win every time. Each active member of a community's blog team will receive recognition - Horizons Community Coaches will provide the names of the blog teams once selection is made by the judges.
The new name of the Award for Horizons Blogs is now BlogStars! You probably think a group sat around and thought up this very clever name, but what really happened is that Ronda Gollehon, Horizons State staff, was taking notes for the monthly conference call of coaches and thought that's what Linda and Anita were saying when they said Blogskers - and it was love at first read! Stars! instead of skers - you can see why Ronda jotted down BlogStars! Thank you, Ronda!
