THE SA BLOG AWARDS – a lot of a let down…
SHARPILE for your support of ‘the SA Blog Awards’ – sadly Represent did not win a single award depite being finalists in 6 categories including music, entertainment, design and photography. Congrats to all the winners. Please guys check out the winners of the SOUTH AFRICAN blog awards here, let us know your thoughts.
Suffice to say we didn’t really fit ‘the profile’, at all, so we weren’t suprised that we didn’t feature. But we had been warned. Our bad.
In terms of the ‘much hyped’ event – which represents the awards in the flesh – it wasn’t our vibe at all so we didn’t have much fun. Was a very tightknit, amateur, bland affair with winners being announced on first name basis (this one goes to Sues….!) on a shocking PA system in a faux-Cool Runnings in Fourways (don’t EVER go there) featuring embarassing ‘challenges’ for spot prizes we won’t even go into…leaving us feeling pretty left out and disillusioned.
It was so far from our world and kind of like going back in time to a place we thought we’d moved on from – we’ve been traumatised all weekend. We’re putting it down to different strokes for different folks which is all good. But before we’re accused of being bitter or sour graped, we’ll put it behind us and move swiftly on and up.
But thanks to you all again! We know just how many times you clicked through to vote for us and are way impressed.
Sharpile!
