The Golden Hashtags recognize the best of BYU social media

You've heard of the Golden Globes, but what about the Golden Hashtags? The BYU University Communications team hosted the second annual BYU Social Media Awards, an event to recognize BYU departments and affiliated organizations for their savvy online efforts. To compete for a Golden Hashtag, social media managers from across BYU submitted entries in a variety of categories, judged by Todd Hollingshead, Joe Hadfield and Jon McBride. Winners were officially bestowed with a lump of fudge, a frame-worthy certificate and bragging rights. Congratulations to this year's winners. See all the winning entries on the BYU Social Media Awards Tumblr - the collection includes humorous, inspiring and fascinating posts from a range of social media platforms and provides an insider's look at the best of BYU. 2014 Golden Hashtag Winners #MrPopular: most liked content BYUtv - Studio C Poster Giveaway College of Nursing - Nursing Ranking #HunterGatherer: best use of content curation BYU Store - Timely sharing of TODAY Show’s Happiest City and Business Insider’s Hottest and Smartest #NewSpice: best use of humor Harold B.
