Know a volunteer who works hard to grow their football club or league’s online presence? These elements have grown enormously since the rise of social media, and there is recognition for ‘Media Managers’ in this month’s #CelebrateEssex competition category.

We're now accepting nominations for the latest category through our Twitter/X account. Anyone who knows a Media Manager deserving of recognition for their work on the online side of the game can nominate them until Thursday 18th January.

#CelebrateEssex, organised via the @EssexCountyFA Twitter/X account, showcases personal stories from Essex grassroots personalities, increasing their visibility as role models and inspiring new faces to join the community as volunteers. Once nominations for the monthly contest close, a final voting stage will identify the latest winner.

How can you make a nomination?

If you know a ‘Media Manager’ who you think should receive some special thanks, anyone can make a nomination by tweeting (by Thursday 18th January):

“I nominate [Insert Name or Twitter Username] from [Insert Club/Team or Twitter Username] as @EssexCountyFA #CelebrateEssex Media Manager because…”

State why your nominee should be the winner and be as descriptive as you can in 280 characters! It’s important to use the #CelebrateEssex hashtag to ensure your entry is registered.

Once nominations have closed, the submissions will be reviewed, and a vote will be set-up for the chosen nominees to decide the winner. You can find further #CelebrateEssex coverage by using the search function on this website or by searching for ‘EssexFootball’ on Facebook.
