# SoMe Awards winners: Who walked away with the social media crowns?

Remember [Encyclopedia Brown](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclopedia_Brown "Encyclopedia Brown")? He was this kid detective who could always figure out random stuff using random clues? He was kind of like the [MacGyver](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacGyver "MacGyver") of the youth sleuth scene.

Well we had a little bit of a mystery going on ourselves tonight in the world of the Portland, Oregon, social media scene that needed some solving:

**Who had taken home the honors from the Social Media Awards—the coveted [SoMe Awards](http://someawards.com)?**

Well, I’m not as smart as Encyclopedia Brown or MacGyver. [But I can use Twitter search](http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23some+OR+somepdx). So I stepped up to the challenge.

And, even though the [SoMe Awards Twitter account](http://twitter.com/someawards) is being a little tight-lipped about the subject…

[![SoMe Awards Twitter account? Not telling](https://i0.wp.com/siliconflorist.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/some-awards-social-media.jpg?w=925)](http://twitter.com/someawards "SoMe Awards Twitter account? Not telling")

… and the [Social Media Club of Portland folks](http://twitter.com/SocialMediaPDX/ "Social Media Club of Portland") who hosted the event were [understandably wiped out](http://twitter.com/SocialMediaPDX/status/1601422517), I’ve done my damnedest due diligence to deduce the list of winners from the [nominees for the SoMe awards](http://siliconflorist.com/2009/04/17/some-awards-announces-social-media-finalists-for-its-inaugural-ceremony/ "nominees for the SoMe awards").

And I think I managed to figure it out. So, without further ado, the winners are:

### Bloviater

[Costa Pacific Homes](http://www.costapacific.com/)

**[Edelman](http://edelman.com/)**

### House Party

**[Conkling, Fiskum & McCormick](http://www.cfm-online.com/)**

[Shizzow](http://shizzow.com "Shizzow")

[Portland Trailblazers](http://www.nba.com/blazers/)

### Next big thing

**[Twitalyzer](http://twitalyzer.com "Twitalyzer") – [Web Analytics Demystified](http://www.webanalyticsdemystified.com/)**

[Grady Britton](http://gradybritton.com/)

[Logobama](http://logobama.com "logobama")

Waggener Edstrom Worldwide – [Twendz ](http://twendz.com "Twendz")

### Scrappy

**[Anvil Media John McPhee](http://www.anvilmediainc.com/)**

LiP Service and [Big DealPR](http://www.bigdealpr.com/)

### Sugar Daddy

**[StepChange Group](http://www.stepchangegroup.com/)**

[The New Group](http://www.thenewgroup.org/)

[Marcelino Alvarez](http://twitter.com/mrlnmarce)

### Wildcard

**[GoSeeTell Network](http://www.goseetellnetwork.com/)**

[Intel](http://intel.com) – [Bryan Rhoads](http://twitter.com/bryanrhoads)

[Supporting Characters](http://supportingcharacters.com/) – [Carri Bugbee](http://twitter.com/carribugbee)

Bearing in mind, of course, that none of these assumptions are finalized until verified by… Oh I don’t know, someone.

[Substance](http://findsubstance.com/ "Substance clearly not social media experts") is already prepping for next year. And they’re clearly planning to [be the social media experts with which to be reckoned](http://twitter.com/Substance/status/1600853722 "social media experts"). I’m predicting a sweep.

[![Substance comes up short in the social media expertise](https://i0.wp.com/siliconflorist.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/substance-not-social-media-experts.jpg?w=925)](http://twitter.com/Substance/status/1600853722 "Substance comes up short in the social media expertise")

Now, only one question remains: **Who served as part of the secret cabal (as opposed to a public cabal?) of judges who bestowed these social media honors upon the recipients?**

That remains to be seen.
