Calling All Digital Storytellers

Was speaking with two of my favourite Van Sexies last weekend, Bridging Media gals – Megan Cole and Erica Hargreave – and they asked me to spread the word on the Women in Film Festivals New Media Award organized by Maayan Cohen and Danika Dinsmore of Women In Film and Television.  The deadline for submissions is tomorrow, Friday December 5th.

If you are using emerging technologies to tell a story and a third of of your key positions are held by women – submit!!!  It’s free and totally painless.  And if you win, it gives me yet another sexy and savvy storyteller to blog about.

Vote for a Van Sexy (by Saturday Nov 29th)

Not surprisingly, Van City’s sexy and savvy blogging community is making headlines again.  This time with the 2008 Canadian Blog Awards.  The first round of finalists are up and at my count there are 20 different Vancouver blogs in the mix.  A few nominated in several categories.

One Sexy In Van blogged about boy, hummingbird604, has been nominated in a whopping three categories – Best Blog, Best Local Blog, and Best Personal Blog.  Congratulations Raul! Obviously your typing is just as enrapturing as the way you sashay your way through a room.

And of course, what sort of blogging awards would this be without Sexy In Van blogged about gal, Miss604.  This Van Sexy darling has been nominated to two categories – Best Blog and Best Local Blog. I’d be shocked if we don’t see Rebecca in the final round of voting. Work it girl, work it – oh yeah your sexy! (In case you’re wondering, yes I’ve clearly decide to start drinking in the morning now)
