The Society for New Communications Research has issued a call for nominations for its first annual awards program.
The SNCR is a non-profit global think tank dedicated to the advanced study of new media and emerging modes of communication and their effect on media, business and society.
The awards will recognize innovative organizations and professionals who are pioneering the use of social media (blogs, wikis, podcasts, collaborative tools and other forms of participatory communications) in the areas of marketing, public relations and advertising, politics, entertainment, academics, and community and cultural development:
- SNCR Professional Awards — honours leading new communications thinkers, bloggers, journalists, citizen journalists and professional communicators
- SNCR Academic Awards — recognizes leading work/research/studies from students and academic institutions
- SNCR Business Awards — honours organizations that are successfully adopting new communications models and leveraging them in innovative ways for business purposes
See the press release for more information.
The deadline for entries is 8 September. You can complete the online submission form at http://www.sncr.org/awards/use/awardssubmission/submission.html.
(Disclosure: I’m a Research Fellow and member of SNCR’s Advisory Board. But I would have posted this news even if I had no involvement.)
