SAN DIEGO, California - It's that time of year again! With almost 6 months of 2012 already past it is time to gear up for the 3rd annual Supconnect Awards. They kick off today with the 2012 "SUP Man of the Year" contest!
This year the process of selecting the "SUP Man of the Year" will be slightly different from last year. In contrast to last year, there will first be an open round / nomination period. This first phase of the contest is your chance to make the world aware of all the new superstars and people who are making the stand up paddle world a better place!
To nominate someone simply go to the Supconnect Facebook page and click on the SUP Man Nominations App. Once there, enter the name and photo of the person you are nominating along with a description of why he deserves be the 2012 SUP Man of the Year. Then get busy spreading the word and increase his vote count as fast as you can! The vote tally will be visible and available in real time! The top 5 nominees with the highest number of votes and the most convincing descriptions will move on to join the top elite athletes in phase two.
The second phase of the SUP Man of the Year contest will include pre-seeded elite athletes along with the top 5 stand up paddlers from the open nominations. They will all be featured again via the SupConnect Facebook page and will have beautiful photos, awesome biographies and a place for you to vote for your overall favorite in 2012. This time, however, the total number of votes will not be visible but you can satisfy your curiosity and the suspense about who is winning by staying plugged in to all the Supconnect announcements, hints and updates on facebook, twitter, and other digital media.
The ultimate SUP Man of the Year winner will be determined based upon several points of criteria. They are: ambassadorship, grassroots involvement in Stand up Paddle, performance, and public voting. All of these aspects will be thoroughly considered and weighed in all final decisions of the Supconnect Awards. Click here to learn more about the Supconnect Awards selection process.
