It’s Time to Award Your Favourite Social Media Accounts

The upcoming Social Media Awards are holding nominations on their site. The awards look to establish a platform for product and consumer engagement and encourage companies to strengthen their presence online. With the awards, they also seek to encourage excellence on social media platforms.

The awards will focus on three platforms: Facebook, Twitter and blogs. Social media users are encouraged to nominate corporate and individual accounts on Facebook and Twitter for the following categories: News Channel, Personality, Corporate Awards, National Integration, Blogger and Facebook Page of the Year.

The nominations will be judged by columnist, James Murua, social media personality, Stephen Musyoka, Socialight CEO, Marvin Tumbo and Harriet Ocharo, a blogger. After the nomination period, judges will sift through the suggestions and pick five in each category. Those will be presented to the public for voting and the awards will be held on the 6th of October, 2012.
