This is the third year that the About.com Catholicism GuideSite will be participating in the Readers’ Choice Awards. Last year, the About Catholicism Readers’ Choice Awards received thousands of nominations across ten categories and tens of thousands of votes. 

Starting at 12:00 A.M. EST on January 14, I will be accepting nominations in the following categories:

• Best Catholic Book of 2012
• Best Catholic Blog
• Best Catholic Website
• Best Catholic Podcast
• Best Catholic Radio Show
• Best Catholic Magazine
• Best Catholic Newspaper
• Best Catholic iOS App
• Best Catholic to Follow on Twitter
• Best Catholic Facebook Page

Nominations will be accepted from 12:00 A.M. EST on January 14, 2013, until 12:00 A.M. EST on February 11, 2013. You are free to nominate your own product or site, as well as to promote the Readers’ Choice Awards to your community. (Sign up for the About.com Catholicism Newsletter to be notified automatically when nominations open.)

Finalists will be announced on February 19, and voting will run from February 19 through March 19. The winners will be announced on March 27. There’s no prize—just the bragging rights that come with getting recognized by the 69 million monthly unique visitors who find About.com their most trusted source on the Internet—though finalists and winners will receive a badge that they can place on their website and use in other promotional material.
