It's my great pleasure to announce that Clancy Ratliff's CultureCat is this year's winner of the 2005-2006 John Lovas Memorial Academic Weblog Award. Sponsored each year by Kairos, the award goes out to the academic weblog which has made significant contribution to the field of rhetoric and composition.

I read CultureCat regularly, and I can't think of a better choice for this award. Congratulations, Clancy! I would also encourage everyone to add CultureCat to your news aggregator if you are not reading it already :-)

Thanks to Jenny, Collin, and Daisy for participating as this year's judges.

If I might *ahem* paraphrase something I wrote a couple months ago :-):

As a public intellectual who regularly engages other academic webloggers both within and beyond composition and rhetoric, Clancy has long been at the leading edge of discussions of new and emerging intersections of technology, rhetoric, and pedagogy. Her blog entries maintain an engaging and often witty balance between the academic and the personal, and she's a reliable leader in pointing to new resources, new developments, and new debates in our field. Finally, she's generous in her linking practices, and has been responsible for helping more than a few new academic bloggers get established. I can't think of a more deserving recipient.

We discussed letting you know by email or phone, but I thought it would be fun to have you find out via your news aggregator. Very blog appropriate :-)
