Our first social media awards in 2011 attracted more than 100 nominations across 8 categories. The competition was fierce which made the judging extremely difficult for our team of 6 independent judges.
The judges were asked to rate each of the 5 short listed nominees across a number of criteria and choose a winner in each category.
Here are the 2011 winners:

- Cactus Club Cafe @cactusclubcafe
