It took a few days to confirm all the winners, but the results are now final! We want to wish a sincere congratulations to all the participants in this contest. You all made it great.
So, without further ado, the 2005 Blogging for Progress Scholarship winners are:
- MattGinsberg (Grand prize: $1,000)
- Sethmol (runnerup: $300)
- Sandorthegreat (runnerup: $300)
- Tamesha06 (runnerup $300)
We'll post more in a few weeks about the winners -- where they are going to school, what they plan to do with their lives, what issues they are passionate about -- that kind of stuff. I'm sure you'll all enjoy reading more about them.
All of the winners should be congratulated -- every one of them reached over 1,000 people through their posts, and in some cases tens of thousands of people read their posts either on the site or through news feeds or comments on other sites. This is a remarkable accomplishment, one we hope will be repeated or bested in future contest.
In the meantime, start honing your skills for the spring contest! We can't wait to see more of you win!
