Collecting Nominations for the 2025 Brodie Awards!!

Nominations are still open for X-Mormon of the Year 2025 — add your nomination here!!

Welcome to the opening of the 16th annual Brodie Awards season!!!

I hope many of you are already familiar with how this works — but I also hope there are also some new people participating for the first time this year!! Especially for the new people, let me explain a bit about how this works:

The Brodies are a set of awards like the Oscars (or Grammys, Emmys, Tonys, etc.) specifically geared towards LDS-interest (and particularly X-LDS-interest) content creators.

The categories themselves are crowd-sourced and change from year to year — based on what types of content were well represented over the past year. There are two main sections: year-long awards for content creators (and their sites/channels) and awards for individual works.

Anyone can nominate (in the comments below and/or in the corresponding Reddit threads). Please feel free to nominate yourself and your own works (up to 3 times).

Please, please include links in your nominations. Sometimes comments with links get stuck in moderation — if this happens to you, please email me at chanson dot exmormon at gmail dot com, and I’ll approve your comment.

I will start with a set of suggested categories — but please feel free to suggest your own categories! Each category needs to have three nominees in order to be included in the voting phase — so please be ready with three nominees if you have a category suggestion that you’d like to see included.
