Presenting the Lunch Awards!
Lunch.com announced that they will be honoring some of the best contributors on the web with the first annual Lunch Awards. For those not familiar with Lunch.com they are a social media website where people can share relevant knowledge and opinions, and create free communities on any topic. Lunch is searching for the best reviewers on the Web in an effort to recognize excellence in consumer-created online reviews. Awards will be given in more than a dozen categories, including the best reviews of movies, books, hotels, gadgets, politics, as well as the most helpful, thought-provoking, fun to read and well-organized reviews. Winners will be announced during a live streaming webcast in March 2011, and nomination and voting details can be found at http://www.lunch.com/LunchAwards. Any review written during the 2010 calendar year is eligible to be nominated. Reviews originally posted elsewhere are welcome to be moved or copied over to Lunch and submitted as nominees.
According to Lunch’s founder and CEO, J.R. Johnson:
“The Lunch Awards are intended to recognize the value of this powerful medium and what its contributors accomplish by sharing their knowledge and opinions,”
TechZulu echo’s those sentiments and is proud to say that we have officially partnered with Lunch.com on this great venture and look forward to seeing some of the best reviews on the web.
So how will the nominee’s be recognized? Only with the highest of honors of course!
“Nominees will be recognized in their respective industries and areas of interest with badges on Lunch as well as badges that can be shared on their blog and other industry websites, to publicize their accomplishment. In addition to the prestige and exposure of this honor, winners of a Lunch Award will receive a Golden Thumb trophy to commemorate their achievement. Just as the Academy Awards set the standard for recognizing excellence in the film industry, the Lunch Awards will define how the highest quality online reviews are honored. Lunch has even commissioned the same manufacturer of the Oscar trophy to produce the Golden Thumb award”
Good luck to all the reviewers out there! If it was not for your honest, detailed and in depth reviews there would be a whole ton of poorly informed minds in the world.
