The Nominations Are Up

Each week, the members of the Watcher's Council nominate one of their own posts and a second from outside the Council for consideration by other council members in a contest for best post. The Watcher publishes the results each Friday morning.

If you would like to participate in the Council's activites, there is a permanent opening on the council at the moment, or if you would like to self-nominate one of your posts for competition in the Non-Council category, you will find the instructions for both at the Watcher's site" in the right hand side bar.

And without further ado, here are this week's nominations. Do enjoy them all:
