Nominate your favourites for 2014 ESMAs

Public nominations for the 2014 Equine Online Equestrian Social Media Awards (ESMAs) have opened and Horse & Hound is looking for your support in 5 categories.

Now in its 4th year, this year’s ESMAs have a new format. Equestrian brands, charities, personalities and organisations will be competing for 2 awards in each category. The 1st will be the Judges’ Choice, decided by a panel of experts. The 2nd will be the People’s Choice, decided by public vote.

ESMA director Liam Killen explains: “Members of the public have until 4pm (GMT) on Friday 20 December to tell us who shines in your social media world. Each nomination must include a short supporting statement, telling us why you enjoy their social media activity. The finalists in each category will be announced on Monday 20 January.”

Horse & Hound is hoping to add to our tally of ESMAs with entries in the facebook, twitter, best social media by a publication, best social network (for the H&H forum) and best use of social media in the UK and Ireland.

So if you enjoy what we do in social media, please take a moment to nominate us at www.equestriansocialmediaawards.com/nominations. Thank you for your support.
