| Last week, we made public a new project called Just Awards, brought to you by Nonprofit Online News and Blue Avocado. With your help, Just Awards will be the IgNobel Prizes of the nonprofit sector. We aim to call a little bit of possibly unwanted attention to those parts of civil society that deserve it. We have recruited a stellar group of judges to make the final decision on these awards.
We are asking you to participate by submitting nominations for the two "Justies" we will award in 2010: one for most amazing example of narcissism by a U.S. philanthropic organization and another for most abominable coverage by a U.S. press organization. You can find much more information at the Just Awards website, including an online nomination form, instructions, bios of our judges, and so on. Please feel free to contact us via the website. And finally, this will only work if you're our eyes and ears. Tell us who deserves these awards. Put your own spin on this and spread the word.
