The BlogCamp team recently released the list of finalists for Ghana's maiden Social Media Awards. The Social Media Awards is part of BlogCamp 2013, and is aimed at encouraging the development of more quality local content. This reinforces BloggingGhana's overarching goal of increasing the relevance of the Internet in Ghana.
After a very grueling selection process, the following blogs made the final cut for "Best Blog":
- ganyobinaa.com
- efodela.blogspot.com
- thejrshow.wordpress.com
- accradotalttours.wordpress.com
- africaphotographer.blogspot.com
- adventuresfrom.com
- mightyafrican.blogspot.com
- antirhythm.blogspot.com
Also, nominations were made in twelve other categories, and these are "Best Original Content", "Best Creative, Literary Short Stories, Poetry Blog", "Best Organisational Blog", "Best Technology Blog", "Best Citizen Journalism Blog", "Organisation with Best Social Media Presence", "Personality with Best Social Media Presence", "Best Business & Commerce Blog", "Best Showbiz and Entertainment Blog", "Best Lifestyle Blog", "Best Activist Blog" and "Best Photo Blog".
See the full list of nominees at blogcampghana.com. Many bloggers whose blogs made it through expressed joy and appreciation for the outcome. Some who could not make the final list were obviously disappointed.
BlogCamp 2013 will be an all-day event held on 23rd March at the Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT. Registration is still ongoing for the biggest social media event of the year, with roughly 57 tickets left. The event is organised by BloggingGhana, Ghana's biggest social media association, and supported by Intel, Fiesta, US Embassy in Accra, Google and Voltic.
Good to know about Social Media Awards by BlogCamp 2013. Thank you for sharing the information in the blog post.

This is a good opportunity for the bloggers of Ghana. I am also glad that companies like Intel and Google supported this event. There are lot of things you can do by just blogging. You can express everything by blogging not just your feelings but also that's around you.
