Vote for the SAHS Museum!
Guess what? Of 550 blog submissions in the 2012 Jamaica Blog Awards competition we are nominated in two (2) categories!!! Click to vote.
The categories are very competitive so we are asking for 'all hands to be on deck' to help us take home these coveted trophies: - 1. Best Jamaican Tumblr Blog (vote: http://jamaicablogawards.org/jm/the-emrie-james-museum-blog). Help pick the best collection (Top-5) from our archives.
2. Best Jamaican Video Blog (vote: http://jamaicablogawards.org/jm/st-andrew-high-school-museum )
In this category judges will be looking to see if subjects are comfortable in front the camera sharing commentary, music and sometimes a joke. Please select your favorite video clips (Top-5) from the museum's playlists>> http://youtube.com/sahsmuseum
Note: We are the defending champions of the Best Jamaican Video Blog (2011).
UPDATE: Award winning writer of Caribbean Children’s Literature Diane Browne (an alumna, former SAHS parent and teacher), is also finalist in the 'Best Writing on a Blog' category! Vote here.
Voting begins on Tuesday, January 8, 2013. Here is how "Winning a Jamaica Blog Award (JBA)" works: -
1. JBA's screening panel will be requested to assess the nominations on content, language, relevant category selections, aesthetics and grounds to make it as a Finalist in the Jamaica Blog Awards. The categories designed for public voting will not be assessed by this team.
2. The finalists in each thematic category will be announced to begin the voting round on these blogs.
3. Online voting is not the only factor; winners of the Jamaica Blog Awards will also be assessed by judges assigned to each category. Online voting will account for 30% of the final assessment. The judging panel which will be made public will evaluate the finalists to contribute 70% of the overall decision.
4. One vote per IP address with an email address in each category will be accepted.
5. Information about the voting process will be shared by JBA on Tuesday, January 8, 2013.
