College Bloggers Vie For $10,000

Just got a nice note from Daniel Kovach of CollegeScholarships.org announcing their blogging scholarship competition.

As is well-known to ScienceBlogs.com readers, our own Shelley Batts of Retrospectacle! won the $1,000 runner-up prize last year.

All the details and eligibility requirements are here, including the nomination form. Unfortunately, the contest is only open to US college bloggers. The deadline for nominations is midnight (PST) on 6 October. You can nominate yourself or a fellow blogger. The top 10 finalists will be announced and public voting will commence on 8 October.

Winners will be announced on 28 October and the monetary prizes will be awarded at the Blog World and New Media Expo in Las Vegas, 8-9 November.

And Shelley, while past Grand Prize Winners are not eligible for entering future Blogging Scholarship contests, runners up are eligible.
