2nd Annual Peter Norman Prize for Posting

January 20, 2010

Starting whenever I did, I have given out (that one time) a prize for reading and posting to this blog. Well, I’ve decided to make it an annual event, and name the award in honour of the person who won it whenever I gave it out last/first: Peter Norman (a fine writer you will get to know better over the next few years, as he starts releasing books).

The prize will be some random thing, and will be given out each year to the person who posts the most on this blog during the previous year.

So the 2010 Peter Norman Prize for Posting goes to: Saleema Nawaz, author of the short story collection Mother Superior and winner of the 2008 Journey Prize. I’ll send Saleema her secret mystery prize in the mail whenever I get around to it.

Ironically, the runner-up this year was Peter Norman, who posted exactly one less time than Saleema. Better luck next time, Peteski!

    Saleema, congratulations! I can’t imagine handing the torch to a worthier recipient…

    …because none of them would accept it. (Suitable drum sound effect, please.)

    No, seriously: as a big fan of Saleema and of this blog, I think it’s a pretty cool award-giving that the world has witnessed today.

    Thanks, Peter!

    I feel compelled to reply not only to express my gratitude to Jon for this prestigious award, but also to make sure that with that last comment, Peter wasn’t succeeding in pulling off a last-minute tie…

Got something to say?
