A special incentive that the Awards also have is that they have the collaboration and participation of the , which provides coverage, promotes and disseminates the news of the contest.
How the Awards work
The dynamics of the competition are very simple and are based on the participation of readers and their right to vote, through promotion by the blogs participating in the Awards.
Therefore, if a blog or blogger wants to participate, the first thing they must do is get someone to vote for them, that first vote, so that they can be “in”.
In this way, each blog promotes and launches its own campaigns to attract votes, with the peculiarity that each reader can cast up to 5 free and anonymous votes per category.
An open and plural contest
To vote, the user/reader must click on this link, and register. Registration.
Then you just have to select the category or categories (users must choose from more than 18 categories) in which you want to give your opinion and vote; and write the web addresses of up to 5 blogs per category, ideally voting for your favorite blogs.
Logically, you can vote up to 90 times if you want, that is, in the 18 categories, 5 votes per category.
But if you only want to vote for one blog in one category, you can do that too, but why waste 4 more votes when you can lend a hand.
Finally you hit vote and that’s it. You have now actively participated in the Awards.
Monitoring the Awards
Once the contest is launched, a few weeks have passed so that the vote count is representative, and the most exciting part of the awards begins: the partial classifications.
Each week, the Awards managers will provide partial lists of the 25 blogs with the most votes (to date) for each category through their Twitter account and the RTVE Blog. The tension and knowing whether you move up or down the rankings will be key to achieving the final goal.
We cannot forget that this is an endurance test!!!
The voting period ends on November 7th, so the 3 finalist blogs (those with the highest number of votes) will be announced in each category during the week of November 14th, and the jury that will make the final decision will also be announced. The winners will finally be announced on November 27th with the jury’s decision at a spectacular Gala.
