It’s time to announce the winner of the SOBCon, Blog Catalog and Authority Blogger SOBCon08 Competition!
I’m both happy and sad to be writing this post. Happy for the winner, but sad for all the people who entered but have not been selected, some scraping through at the very last minute. Making the selection has been tough, very tough.
I know, boo-hoo, let’s feel sorry for Chris, just give us the winner already. OK, OK 😉
The winner is Andrew Dubber of New Music Strategies with his entry here.
Why? It was a close run thing, but we felt Andrew edged in front with a unique and reader-focused submission. Liz, chair of the selection committee and boss of all things SOBCon put it this way:
Andrew Dubber fulfilled the requirement of explaining why he found SOBCon of value and what he would add himself — and he did so focused on his readers in a totally entertaining and unique fashion. Even more, Andrew showed how creativity can expand a passive offer into a chance to invite potential clients and customers to participate in both the SOBCon offer and in his consultancy.
Thanks to Blog Catalog and SOBCon for the opportunity, and thank you to everyone who put in those great submissions. I got a real kick out of seeing what you wrote.
I look forward to meeting Andrew, and any else of you who can make it there. I’m sure it is going to be a brilliant few days in Chicago 🙂
