The month of July is coming to an end, and that means it’s almost time to close the Beliefnet Blogging Contest. Thank you for your participation. We’re looking forward to reading your journals. Please use today, the last day of the month, to add to your blog and make sure it’s in great shape before the judging begins.

In addition to Beliefnet Community staff, we have several guest judges who will be helping choose a winner. You can find out who they are here:

Besides choosing one winning blog to feature on the Beliefnet homepage and elsewhere on the site, we’ll be giving awards in many different categories as well. Those awards will remain at the discretion of the judges, but here’s a sneak peak at some of the areas we’ll be recognizing:

-Best use of multimedia in a blog

-Most commented-on blog

-Most-read blog

-And more!

Thanks again for all your terrific writing this month. We hope that you will continue blogging on Beilefnet! We'll keep you posted about the results in the coming week.
