We're about halfway through the first phase of the 2012 Readers' Choice Awards, the part where you help me select five finalists for each of eight categories. To do that, you can nominate your favorites in the categories below -- as many as you want, as often as you want, through February 15. Since number of nominations will be a major factor in the selection of the finalists, you can best support your favorites by nominating them more than once and urging other fans to do the same. The categories for this year are:
- Favorite Special-Needs Parenting Blog
- Favorite Special-Needs Online Community
- Favorite New Special-Needs Parenting Book
- Favorite New Special-Needs Memoir
- Favorite New Special-Needs Children's Book
- Favorite Special-Needs TV Show
- Favorite Special-Needs App
- Favorite Special-Needs Regional Resource
Click on the links above to find a description of what I'm looking for in each category, and follow the nomination link from there to share your picks. You can also get more information on the Readers' Choice Awards on this guidesite and About.com overall from the Readers' Choice Awards FAQ. Once the nomination phase is over, you'll have a chance to vote on five featured finalists for a winner in each category. Please join me in making the most of this opportunity to shine a spotlight on the resources that mean the most of us.
