2012 SAD Readers’ Choice Awards

Every year About.com hosts an awards program to choose the best products and services in various categories across the network. The About.com 2012 Readers’ Choice Awards will showcase the best of the best based on nominations and votes submitted by visitors to the site.

Although social anxiety disorder (SAD) is not a heavily product-based topic, I did think there were a couple of categories that would be interesting to include as part of the awards program. These are the best SAD websites and the best SAD self-help tools. Websites can include blogs, forums, article-based sites, and any other helpful website you have come across. Self-help tools might include books, apps, DVDs, audio programs and other products you have found helpful.

You can submit your nominations in these two categories up until February 15th:

For more details about the process and the categories you can visit the main SAD awards nomination page.

After the nomination period I will tally up the reccommendations and choose finalists in each category. Voting will then begin and extend until March 21st, with winners being announced on March 30th.

Please also note that in order to vote you will need to log in with an About.com username or your Facebook profile.

Since this is the first time I have participated in the Readers’ Choice Awards I am excited to see the nominations that arrive. I think this is a great chance for readers to share the resources that are most valuable to them and to showcase all of the great sites and self-help tools that are available for SAD.
