And you thought the debaters were nerdy

I used to think that my high-school resume made me a nerd. But I had nothing on these people:

Victoria JC, Nanyang Girls’ High win inter-school blogging contest

SINGAPORE : Victoria Junior College and Nanyang Girls’ High School have won the first National Inter-school Blogging Championship.

The event is jointly organised by SingTel and the Ministry of Education.

Victoria JC and Nanyang Girls’ High ‘outblogged’ 51 other Singapore schools to emerge champions in the ‘Junior College/Centralised Institute’ and ‘Secondary School’ categories respectively.

It’s even more interesting that a blogging contest would be held in a country so well-known for stomping on press freedom.

Update: Amit emailed to point out the web site of the blogging contest, which the Yahoo story hadn’t included.
