The Grammys.  The Emmys.  The Dirtys.  

Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?  We'd like to honor the people who are out there in the church creative world (which is made of marshmallows) and creating some amazing stuff and making a difference. At #dirt09, we'll be hosting an awards show that will bring you to tears, to your feet and more than likely - to the edge. We're giving away awards, prizes and your very own Dirty trophy.

So here's what we want.  We want you to nominate someone.  Anyone.  Nominate a church or a person or a video or a group of people.  From anywhere in the US (or Canada - because we love Maple Syrup) and here are the categories:

1.  Best Created-from-Scratch
2.  Worship Making a Difference
3.  Best Sermon Series
4.  Best In-Service Video

To nominate someone, all you need to do is jump on Twitter and tell us who you are nominating, and why, using the hashtag #dirt09dirtys".  You can also nominate by responding to this post by leaving a comment.

If you've ever dreamt of being a seat filler at a Major Award show - guess what.  You're a seat filler now at the Dirtys.  And we can't wait to give away some great prizes and honor people who are making some great stuff.  But we can't do it without you.  You've got to nominate your friends, your videos, your series ideas, whatever.

Let the award season begin.  We're putting our tuxedo in the Dryel bag and tossing it in the dryer right now.
