Foreign and domestic events being what they are, a project like this can be a welcome distraction from talk of war, Supreme Court controversy, and general anxiety over the upcoming midterm elections. Let’s celebrate the best of who we are, the best of what we have to offer, and the best of what we have done to effect progressive change.
here’s how YOU can participate in the Koscars:
-
Be on the lookout for the nomination request each week.
-
Read, recommend, and comment so it will stay visible on the Trending List as long as possible.
-
Make nominations in each category, including seconding nominations made by others (where applicable).
-
Vote when the final list of nominees is presented on Tuesday, May 17.
-
Congratulate the Koscar winners on our 20th anniversary: Thursday, May 26!

it took me years to write, will you take a look?
last call for category #5: OUTSTANDING daily kos SERIES
You have one more day to offer nominations in Category #5: Outstanding Daily Kos Series.
A series is a collection of stories with a similar theme, usually by the same author, although authors have been known to share series writing. There’s no hard and fast rule about how many stories make a series, but it does have to contain more than one story or two. Entries in a series can post every day, once a week, multiple times per week, or on an irregular basis, as long as continuity and cohesion tie the entries together in some way.
There are current series that have been running for years, series that ran for only one election cycle, series that were very popular for a while and then faded away, and brand-new offerings that started just a few months ago. All are eligible to be recognized and nominated.
In this category, the Koscar goes to the series as a whole, so you do not have to pick out a single story. Still, you might want to link to a favorite example anyway as a way of encouraging people to vote for your selection when voting begins in a few weeks.
As usual, series that receive multiple nominations have a better chance of making it into the final list of nominees. Nominate one today!
