Entries Open For 2016 African Blogger Awards
Do you have a Blog, a Facebook page , Instagram page or a Twitter account that focuses on social issues? In association with the Gates Foundation, the African Blogger Awards have introduced three new categories, whose aim is to raise awareness of social issues that affect the continent. The three new categories are:
- Women and Girls’ Empowerment
- Public Health
- Social Issues and Active Citizenship
If you are passionate about sharing stories about women and girl’s, public health and social issues, you have an opportunity to gain recognition for the essential work you do in highlighting important issues.
The African Blogger Awards are the only pan-African event that measure online and social influencers’ reach and influence through data analysis. Using analytics, five overall awards for Africa’s Top Blogger, Instagrammer, Youtube, Twitter and Facebook influencers are awarded to entrants with the strongest quality and reach on their social media accounts. The Webfluential platform is used to determine the winners – eliminating the need for entrants to request votes from their audiences. The Awards include 21 other categories which include Music, Sports and Photography among many others.
This means that you do not have to Tweet-storm your followers to vote for you, your Blog or social media page speaks for itself.
So, sign up for African Blogger Awards 2016. Entries for the awards close on 19 April 2016 at midnight GMT+2, and results will be announced on 3 June 2016 in an online ceremony.
