Skeptical Blog Anthology open for submissions

I refer you to the official release from the Young Australian Skeptics:

Dear skeptical bloggers, podcasters, and keen supporters of skepticism,

Inspired by the annual The Open Laboratory, the Skeptical Blog Anthology is a printed anthology of blog posts voted the very best of 2009, managed by the Young Australian Skeptics in conjunction with the Critical Teaching Education Group (CTEG).

Entries for the Skeptical Blog Anthology can be submitted to the Young Australian Skeptics Website at http://www.youngausskeptics.com/anthology/

The anthology is an attempt to bring a greater awareness of the skeptical content on blog sites and showcase some of the range and diversity in the blogosphere. With a combined aim to provide text-based resources to classes and general readers who may be interested or intrigued by what skepticism has to offer, entries from January 1st to December 1st 2009 are eligible for submission. Both a print and portable document format (pdf) will be made available for purchase via Lulu.com, with estimated printing early in 2010.

Entries can be self-nominated or proposed by readers of skeptical blog sites. The guidelines proposed by the popular Skeptics’ Circle Blog Carnival are a fine indicator of the kind of content suitable for the anthology. These include urban legends, the paranormal,  quackery, pseudoscience, intelligent design, historical revisionism, critical thinking, skeptical parenting / educating skeptically, superstitions, etc. The submission form on the Young Australian Skeptics site will guide you through the eligibility criteria.

Inquiries can be made to either youngausskeptics@live.com or ksturgess@podblack.com.

Thank you,

Elliot Birch

So, get nominating, people! When we check the pile at the end of the year, I want an excellent selection of skeptical writing to be at the top, so don’t let me down.

You may have noticed that I’ve placed a Skeptical Blog Anthology badge in the sidebar, which looks like this:

You can get one for your own site here. And who wouldn’t, with the brilliant design work of Joel Birch on show? I literally jumped at the opportunity.
