Pakistan Blog Awards 2010 was successfully completed and Awards ceremony was held in karachi. Nokia Pakistan was the Presenter Sponsor of 1st Annual Pakistan Blog Awards & New Media UnConference 2010. This event was hosted by CIO and Google with more than 300 bloggers and corporates on 28th May 2010 in Karachi.
According to Nokia Pakistan’s Official Press Release
When IDG and Google decided to promote the upcoming media; Nokia Pakistan wholeheartedly extended its support towards this extraordinary initiative that would give recognition to some of the country’s most thought-provoking opinion leaders.
Having partnered with the leading bloggers since the early days of its operations in the country, Nokia Pakistan felt proud of its association with this new venture as it always believed in the potential of Pakistani bloggers and even gave them global exposure by inviting some of them to its international event, Mobile World Congress 2010.
The initiative aimed to highlight the contribution the blogging community is making in the country. The annual convention that took place for the first time in the country was geared to discuss, recognize and platformize one of the fastest growing online mediums in Pakistan, the blogging community. With more than 1 million local readers, for the 400 or so active local blogs, and growing every day this is a huge medium of exponential messaging. IDG and Google, two of the world’s most powerful brands who have supported this technology globally brought the same recognition to the fast growing bloggers community in Pakistan.
Speaking on the occasion, Adeel Hashmi, Communications Manager Nokia Pakistan and Afghanistan said, “Pakistani blogging community reflects that Pakistan is a progressive society; we know how to make an educated use of technology when it is available to us. I’m certain that given the right kind of exposure, Pakistani bloggers will become the key movers and shakers of our society. Nokia is committed to bring new technology in Pakistan at affordable prices through its mobile solutions which would empower the masses to use them for the betterment of their lives as well as society. Nokia has always been at the forefront of digital drive in Pakistan and today we want to thank all those people who have been our companion in this journey.”
There were 31 categories in which bloggers participated which were classified on the basis of blog genre. At the event, 41 bloggers were awarded for quality of content, blog structure and layout and traffic generation on their blog.
Pakistan Blog Awards have been a good initiated as an annual event. I say it must be continue to identify and encourage the talented individuals who are the pillars of Pakistan’s blogging fraternity.
