The World Award

For the 2012 PagePlay Equestrian Social Media Awards (ESMAs) we introduced categories for best use of social media by region. Based on the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) Regional Groups, the categories helped us achieve our aim of connecting the global equestrian community through social media.

The winners of 2013's regional categories will be passed to the FEI's Director of Corporate Communications, Richard Johnson to decide the winner of a World Award.

Richard commented: “The sheer scope of groups, online communities and online campaigns is showcasing the sport to hundreds of thousands of exiting and new fans of the sports we all passionately support in creative, informative and fun ways. Being a judge of the World Award is certainly not an easy one, following the high standards from last year and I am looking forward to the shortlisting process, seeing the vast array of social media projects large and small from all corners of the world. Lets keep the online conversations going.”
