When: Every month during the Fall 2009 semester
What: A blog contest featuring the most original, smartest, most credible, most exciting Internet writers at Emmanuel College (that’s you, folks) and their adventures in thinking as Christians about Education, Music, Biology, Pop Culture, History, and whatever else smart Christians think hard about
How: Start up a blog, or keep writing one if you have already. (See the “links for bloggers” box in the right margin for some easy-to-use platforms.) When you’ve written a post that tackles some of the questions that a thinking Christian might ask, email the post’s URL(the web address, the string of characters in the address bar above) to ngilmour@ec.edu so that the judging committee can see it. At the beginning of each month, we’ll award $25 in gift credit to the best post, and at the end of the semester, the best post will get $100 in gift credit! (The runner-up will get $50, which ain’t shabby.)
