Ghana’s first Blogging and Social Media Awards scheduled for March 2013

BloGH – BloggingGhana, Ghana’s biggest organization of bloggers and social media enthusiasts has announced that it would hold the maiden Blogging and Social Media Awards ceremony in March 2013. In an official statement from the non-profit organization explained the rational behind the awards: “We’ve all fantasized about being world-popular writers; had long conversations with ourselves in the shower;wowed the lawyer in us with the sheer wit of our arguments in the isolation of our bedrooms; calmed the storms and tsunamis of the world with Dalai Lama and Paulo Coelho. We’ve even changed policies and agenda with our very own mass followings, photoblogs, and online networks. In reality, this might not be the case, but in the world of the blogger, tweep, facebooker, everything is possible.” “It’s a closed world, personal and sometimes defiant, but it has influenced, shaped, and motivated many. And here at BloggingGhana, we firmly believe it’s about time we appreciate, honour, and award some of the personalities behind the blogs, tweets, and pages that have so motivated, informed, and affected many of us.” “So join us, in March 2013, to show special honour to our silent, unknown, sometimes faceless cyber and social media motivators.
