This weeks' Council nominations page is dedicated to Eyal Yifrach, Gilad Shaar, and Naftali Frenkel, (HY"D)

Council News:

This week, Right Reason, Seraphic Secret, The Pirate's Cove and TinaTrent.com earned honorable mention status with some great articles. In fact the honorable mentions are especially good this week, and will definitely reward your attention

Want to see your work appear on the Watcher’s Council homepage in our weekly contest listing? Didn’t get nominated by a Council member? No worries.

To bring something to my attention, simply head over to Joshuapundit and post the title a link to the piece you want considered along with an e-mail address ( which won't be published) in the comments section no later than Monday 6PM PST in order to be considered for our honorable mention category. Then return the favor  by creating a post on your site linking to the Watcher’s Council contest for the week when it comes out Wednesday morning

Simple, no?
