No surprise if you’re from Victoria to hear that the provincial capital is nutso for social media.
Now, the organizers of Social Media Camp, Chris Burdge and Paul Holmes, have introduced regional awards into the mix.
The first-ever West Coast Social Media Awards are now open for nominations. There are 4 serious categories, and 3 that are more about laughs and twugs than plaudits.
Anyone in Western Canada can nominate and be eligible. So please go to the link here and nominate worthy candidates for the serious:
>> Best Social Media Customer Service Award
>> Most Inspiring Social Media User
>> Social Media Campaign of the Year
>> Best Blog
And the not so much:
>> Funniest Profile Picture
>> Funniest Tweet
>> Most Likely to become a Social Media Celeb
The judging takes place at the end of May and the awards will be handed out during the Social Media Camp networking dinner reception on June 3rd.
Share it, tweet it, post it and plug it!

Thanks for the shout out Doug! We’re pretty stoked about the whole thing. It’s going to be a great night and an awesome weekend of social media learning.
Great idea Chris – we need to get everyone behind it and make sure it becomes a regular and popular part of the Camp.
