So the Breeder's Cup came up with a great idea with their Media Awards. This year there are four awards.
The Joe Hirsch Award for Outstanding Newspaper Writing
Bill Leggett Award for Outstanding Magazine Writing
Online Writing Award
Social Media Award
The Social Media Award is the one that I'm really interested in. That's because it's the one that involves blogging and twitter. So, I'm going to try to enter this contest and see if I win. This is where I need your help.
I have to write 10 posts about horse racing (easy, since this is a horse racing blog), 30 percent of them (3 in this case) have to be about the Breeder's Cup. I also have to have people comment at least 11 times (they said more then 10 comments). I do have a deadline of September 30,2009 to send my posts (with comments in), and cross my fingers that I win. You can find all of the details here. I think this is a wonderful idea for social media, like myself to get involved with the Media Awards. Especially since I hope to become a full time turf writer, sometime in the next 2 to 3 years (wishful thinking I know). Also I'm a very competitive person, so this will fuel my fire (I know I can be a little bit crazy). So good luck to everyone who has decided to try this out, and I can't wait to see if I do enough to actually enter, and maybe win.
My first Breeder's Cup post will be tomorrow and focus on the Turf divisions.
