Do you think one can nominate UK blogs for any category, or just for the international one? I have been looking at the nominations just now, and you're nominated already :-)

Absolutely, they can be nominated in all categories. I just made a specific international category to pick the best outside of the US. But all categories are open to all nations.
I know homeschooling in the US is a whole different thing, but the whole point for me is to be against school and all it represents, including the award system it trains people to accept.
Hi Leo,
I think competition and award systems are only coercive if people experience these as such. Sometimes they are just fun, and failure can be experienced very positively.
I never, ever, ever once won in any sporting competition within my family. They were all SO much better than I was. But I never resented it. I loved the fact that they were good and admired their skills and freely chose to compete with them.
Given that these awards are pretty much voluntary, and I imagine that if you felt that you didn't want to compete, you could get your nomination withdrawn, I think that they could be just a bit of fun and could be very useful in pointing the way to other interesting reads.
Hi Carlotta,
You make sense. I guess I am too damaged to appreciatte those things healthily anymore.
