- The Jamaica Twitter Awards -
The Jamaica Twitter Awards was founded by Ricardo Brooks (@Ricaaduh) and Ricardo Fágan (@_RickyFagan1) in January 2011. The awards show is currently a virtual event which gathers over 1000 users of the popular social networking site Twitter for fun, laughter and entertainment. The show is 'viewer's choice' as nominations are made by users on Twitter and vetted by #TeamJTA. The Jamaican Twitter community then votes on the confirmed finalists. The awards grew steadily and now has 20 categories (subject to increase or decrease) along with the popular #JTARadio which was launched during the December 2011 edition of the awards show. The radio allows young and upcoming DJs on Twitter to showcase their skills as disk jocks.
The awards show has become a permanent addition to the Jamaican Twitter calendar and is now held twice per year (June or July and December). As the popularity of the show has grown tremendously, #JATwitterAwards has been the top trend in Jamaica on more than one occasion. #TeamJTA also brought you the popular and much loved #TOTY (Tweet of The Year) which also has been a trending topic in Jamaica. So 4wud nuh...follow wi! @JATwitAwards! Tweet! Tweet! Tweet! & away we go!
