The Be2Awards
The 2011 Be2Awards: 'Crowd-sourced'
As social media advocates, we encouraged the active online involvement of our members and other supporters. So, we didn't follow the approach of many awards programmes - no decisions made by judges in private here.
Instead, the Be2 award nominations were sourced from you, our "crowd", and voted upon by the same "crowd": you. This helped ensure we got a wide spread of nominations, and also encouraged shortlisted candidates to mobilise their supporters once online voting began.

The awards
For the winners, securing a Be2 meant they had successfully gained the recognition and endorsement of a substantial online community, with the merits of their award clear for all to see.
The winners received a trophy and a Be2 winner badge that they can display on their website, blog, literature, etc. Additionally, some award categories also featured prizes donated by sponsors.
