Attention Midlands Women: Here’s your chance to become a blogger
Lexington Medical Center is sponsoring a contest from June 1st to June 30th to recruit additional bloggers for its Every Woman Blog. Women of all ages are invited to enter. Through the contest, the hospital plans to select five women from the community to be featured as permanent bloggers. Each month, their posts will appear on the EveryWomanBlog.com website. Each selected blogger will receive a $250 cash prize.
The Every Woman Blog has been active for more than five years, with more than 200,000 visitors checking out posts by local female bloggers. The blog has received several awards from leading health care organizations such as the Carolinas Healthcare Public Relations and Marketing Society. Winners of the blog contest will join Shannon Boatwright, Mary Pat Baldauf, Katie Austin, Chaunte McClure and Lara Winburn as featured bloggers at EveryWomanBlog.com.
“Today, women bloggers, including ours, are some of the most influential communicators online. Women follow them because the stories they share are relatable and inspiring,” said Lexington Medical Center Public Relations Manager Jennifer Wilson. “We’re excited to welcome new faces and fresh perspectives to our exceptional team of Every Woman Bloggers.”
To enter the blogging contest, visit Lexington Medical Center’s Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/LexingtonMedical. Send a message or video about why you would be a great blogger to represent and inspire women in the Midlands. Five women with the most persuasive, funny, touching or engaging posts will be selected to become featured bloggers on the Every Woman Blog.
Each featured blogger will write at least one post per month. The topics will vary greatly depending on the personalities of the bloggers and their daily experiences in the community. Visitors can expect some of the posts to be videos. The bloggers will also meet in person at “blogger reunions” to share ideas and brainstorm topics.
The Every Woman Blog also features occasional guest bloggers from Lexington Medical Center’s medical staff. With Lexington Medical Center as the sponsor of the blog, readers can expect to find an abundance of helpful health information. For more information, visitwww.EveryWomanBlog.com.
