About the Categories
Best in Show Facebook
Facebook is a community all its own. Over the past few years it has transformed from a place for a personal profile to a real hub for discourse, conversation, and community. Who has the best Facebook Group or Page of anyone you know? They have balanced the tricky interface of Facebook and turned it into an opportunity to reach more people in a medium people are used to. They foster an environment that people want to "Like" and have a ton of interaction there every day. The leader of the group may have other sites - but he or she really exemplifies why Facebook can be used for good.
Best in Show Twitter
It's not easy doing amazing things in only 140 characters - but there are some people who truly excel at it. Taking an involved, difficult to explain story, piece of research, or words of support and creating an easily digestible thought is difficult. There are Health Activists who have connected with others and raised awareness just by tweeting - let's celebrate those using Twitter for their advocacy with an award! Whether they've created their own Twitter chat or participate actively in others' chats - they are the model of Twitter for #health.
Best Kept SECRETS
The internet is a vast place, making it near impossible to find all of the amazing content that exists. But people often have the best recommendations – so which Health Activist would you recommend that everyone follow? Who is a hidden gem who creates great content and should have the spotlight shone on them? Who deserves double the readership because they are doing great things as an advocate? Help us uncover the best kept secret of the online health space!
Best in show Blog
Whose blog do you absolutely love? Their writing is exceptional, their "voice" admirable, and their writing is just really worth reading. You think anyone wondering why patients or caregivers would blog about health should read this Health Activist's blog - it will make the case crystal clear. They have great info, raise awareness, and do whatever they can to help their community by using their blog. They may be active on numerous social platforms - but the blog is their bread and butter - and they are a great model of how to be a blogger.
