Introducing the Facebook Football Awards
thedrum.com |
Awards ceremonies hosted online or even via social media
platforms are steadily becoming more common. It makes sense, the internet has
long since overtaken TV as the dominant source of news and information so you’re
much more likely to get a strong viewership if you take your awards show
online, even more so if it’s hosted on a platform as widely used as Facebook.
Such is the case with the Facebook Football Awards. In
conjunction with Mirror Football and BT Sport, Facebook have opened a global
ballot so that people can pick out which team they thought performed best
during the 2014/15 premier league season. Other awards will go to the best manager,
young player and overall player of the year. Polling opens up on May 11th
and voters can user either their Facebook accounts or the fan pages for BT
Sport and Mirror Football.
Additionally, participants will be able to select their
fantasy team for the BT Sport Best XI Award and the clubs will be able to
nominate the Mirror Football Fan of the Year. According to representative Glen Miller “The Facebook Football Awards are the only awards dedicated to
celebrating the Premier League, where fans around the globe have the power to
decide who deserves to win for their performance over the course of the
season. That’s what the Facebook Fan
Awards are all about. We want to give
the millions of football fans on Facebook the opportunity to share their
knowledge and love for the game by celebrating the players, clubs and fans they
feel deserve recognition.”
