Call for Nominations – BlogHer 2010 International Activist Scholarship Program
January 20, 2010 | 1 Comment
Last year BlogHer announced scholarships to attend the annual BlogHer annual conference for women using their blogs for activism. Among the winners was Toyin Ajao, former Project Coordinator of W.TEC, for her award-winning blog: The Activist. On The Activist, Toyin discusses issues related to making the world a better and more equitable place for women. At BlogHer ’09, together with the other selected activists, she had the opportunity to share her work and passions.
The program was such a success that BlogHer has decided to make this an annual initiative. You can nominate yourself or a deserving woman who is using her blog to change her community for good for the BlogHer 2010 International Activist Scholarship Program.
Scholarship Winners Will Receive:
* A full 2-day conference pass to BlogHer ’10
* Round trip airfare to and from New York, NY for the BlogHer ’10 annual conference
* 2 nights stay at the New York Hilton during the conference
* The opportunity to present their work during a prominently-scheduled session at BlogHer ’10
Deadline: January 31, 2010
