Rising Star Award - October 2009 Winners Announced!

Sylvia Branch has a unique, indie spin on all of her content, from pin-up girl-inspired fashion reviews to raw food recipes and unique gift guides (check out her Best Stocking Stuffers for a Roller Derby Girl ). She has also climbed to a Clout 6 with over 26,000 page views since joining in September.

Doctor of Chiropractic and practicing Kinesiologist, Nathan Schilaty, DC, is already a member of the Featured Health & Wellness Contributors program and has built an impressive library of heath & wellness content since joining in July.

Brandon Miller was nominated by several of his peers in the Forum for his fun, timely and helpful online gaming content. Check out his guides and tips for Farmville, Restaurant City and Mobsters 2 as well as his local Southern California content.

She may have only joined AC in September, but Kyla Matton is already a mainstay in the Forum and has published 60 pieces of content on everything from the H1N1 virus to delicious recipes. Check out her piece: H1N1 Vaccine Available in Canada Earlier Than Expected.

Rebecca Caroll's profile claims that she is "passionate about life" and it's definitely reflected in her content, which spans topics from Christianity to holidays dealing with disabilities. Her overt interest in the topics makes them easy to read and have earned her nearly 24,000 page views.

Please take a moment to welcome these talented newbies to the community. Congratulations to our winners and all of the other great Contributors who joined recently--this month's competition was stiff!
