I don't usually blog announcements, but this is a little bit of social media kismet and couldn't resist. Andrew Nachison, President and CEO, iFOCOS, who helped created an annual conference WeMedia, left a comment on an older blog post. I'd just finished blogging about the book giveaway (reading Amy Sample Ward's reflection about it). We offered free copies of Media Rules by Brian Reich and Dan Solomon to generate participation on the wiki for the NTEN WeAreMedia Project. KISMET - Andrew wrote the introduction!
So, that's how I heard about the WeMedia Awards
The We Media Awards recognize Game Changers: people, projects, ideas and organizations leading change and inspiring a better world through media. Game Changers lead society to knowledge. They inspire involvement and action through media.
So are you trolling for a nomination, or planning to nominate someone?

No trolling for a nomination - just helping them get the word out. Are you suggesting that I nominate you?

Beth, I am nominating you and the WeAreMedia project. I truly believe it deserves widespread recognition :)
