Johannesburg - You have just over a week left to enter the 2015 African Blogger Awards, which is open to all African bloggers, Instagrammers, Twitter influencers and YouTubers.
The competition has expanded this year to include Facebook pages and profiles, adding further opportunities for social influencers to be recognised for the quality and reach of their platform.
Launched in 2014, the African Blogger Awards are the only pan-African event that measures online and social influencers’ reach and influence through data analysis.
“The inaugural African Blogger Awards in 2014 set the benchmark for the discovery of truly exceptional African content creators and their unique story-telling approaches,” says Mike Sharman, co-founder of the African Blogger Awards.
“We are looking forward to seeing the progress made by entrants participating in this year’s event for the second time, while discovering new talent across the continent.”
Five overall awards, for Africa’s Top Twitter Profile, Top Instagrammer, Top YouTuber, Top Blogger and Best Facebook Page, will be awarded. There are an additional 36 sub-categories, including lifestyle, travel, finance, entertainment, and technology and gadgets.
Entry is free, but entrants need to have their blog, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook Page or YouTube profile registered on Webfluential, which measures the reach, resonance and relevance of influencers with 1 000 active, legitimate followers.
Entries for the awards close at midnight on April 9. Results will be announced on May 5.
