Blog Party II

Feb 25, 2011 by Synthaetica in RadioShow | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

It’s the last Wednesday of the month, which means we’re holding a small contest for blog submissions on the topics noted below. Our panel will read (excerpts of) the entries aloud and discuss (no, not necessarily eviscerate if we don’t agree) them on the air in our Round Table format. We’ll choose up to three recent blog post from each of the following categories:

Submission Categories:

  1. Atheism (note: this category is not open to Agnosticism)
  2. (Secular) Humanism
  3. Religion
  4. Sociology
  5. Philosophy

Minimum Requirements for Consideration:

  1. Article is “recent” (within the past three months ~ exception might be made in deference to kick-ass authorship)
  2. Article is comprised of at least 600 words
  3. Article contents contain at least 75% unquoted content

Pretty simple, huh?

Authors of the selected articles will be asked to come on the show for a brief interview and to read and discuss their articles. Show participation is not mandatory. There is no monetary award for being chosen.

Submission Guidelines and Deadline:

  1. Submit link(s) to blog post(s) in the comments below
  2. Maximum of 5 links per contestant
  3. Deadline is 10pm EST on the day before the show airs.
  4. Selections will be announced by 10am EST on the show date via unenslaved.com and @Synthaetica (twitter).

Join us Wednesday, March 23, 2011 at 10pm EST for some unique and dynamic show content from great authors around the Internet!

    If I need to specify categories, I can. Not sure if they all actually fit into a category anyway, but I figured I'd let you decide.

    LET THE FOLLOWING BE KNOWN AND UNDERSTOOD:

    I'm a divorcee with two kids who works a little too much, has a girlfriend, plays on 2 soccer teams, guests for 2 others, is a member of 4 separate soccer associations, responsible for referee training in two of those, and a senior administrator in 1 of them. Games start within a month, so you get an idea of how much free time I have on my hands. I'll read your submissions in due time, and I can't make any hard decisions about which ones I'll include until the night of March 22nd. Thank you for your understanding!

    Feel free to submit stories all the way throughout March. You can tell me later whether you want a more recent submission to stand instead of a previous one and all that. In other words, don't hold back something you'd really like to share just because you've submitted something already! Make sense?

    Thanks for your support, everyone. #MUCHLUV

    This one isn't within 3 mos and prob not kick-ass enough, but I thought I'd give it a shot.

    Link? That would ruin the scavenger hunt.
