# So SoMe: Social Media Awards launched to coincide with InnoTech

[![Social Media Awards](https://i0.wp.com/siliconflorist.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/some.png?w=925)](http://someawards.com "Social Media Awards")Looking for a little recognition of your prowess in social media? I have an award for you, my friend.

The [Social Media Club of Portland](http://socialmediaclubpdx.com/ "Social Media Club of Portland"), [SEMpdx](http://www.sempdx.org/ "SEMpdx"), the [Software Association of Oregon (SAO)](http://www.sao.org/ "Software Association of Oregon SAO"), and [InnoTech](http://www.innotechconference.com/pdx/ "InnoTech") have joined forces to launch “[SoMe Awards: Your Social Media Awards](http://someawards.com/ "SoMe Awards"),” an award designed to recognize “outstanding social media projects and the people who created them.”

No, despite the date, I’m not joking. [I did that already](http://siliconflorist.com/2009/04/01/oregon-and-portland-area-florists-floral-arrangements-and-flowers/).

Oh okay. So here’s one more little joke and then we can get on with reality.

The SoMe Award (whose URL [someawards.com](http://someawards.com "someawards.com") reminds me of [someecards](http://someecards.com "someecards"), which prompted me to use the image above) will be held Thursday, April 23, at InnoTech.

Want to register yourself, a client, or a friend? Simply head over to the [SoMe Award nomination form](http://someawards.com/) before midnight on April 11. Categories include Superstar, House Party, Next Big Thing, Scrappy, Sugar Daddy, Bloviater, and Wildcard.

What are they looking for?

> We encourage nominees to make it EASY for the judges to review your work and provide as much detail as necessary. We advise a landing page or micro-site that explains why your project is award-worthy and walks the judges through the elements you want them to be aware of (no word-count limitations here). This is the place to make your pitch! Highlight your creativity, ground-breaking ideas, coding artistry, marketing effectiveness, statistics – whatever is most award-worthy about your project. Don’t assume judges will click through elements you have not highlighted as important! Be clear about what they should look at.
> 
> Note: the judges are from another state and likely will not know the nominees to make the process as impartial as possible.

So get all your social ducks in a row and fill out the form. Or get your clients to nominate you. I think you could use a new trophy on your desk. Or to haul around with you from [coffee shop to coffee shop](http://webworkerdaily.com/2008/12/22/where-is-your-community/).
