Music Industry virtuosos to judge BlogAdda Awards 2013

MUMBAI: Trying to think of who the panel might consist of? Don’t wrack your brains too much. You hear her every morning on 93.5 Red FM Mumbai. You guess correctly. Popular radio icon RJ Malishka will be sharing the panel with brilliant singers like Vasundhara Das and Gayatri Iyer for the BlogAdda Awards 2013. That is not all, you can be sure to count Eklavya Bhattacharya, Head MTV Digital and Arjun S Ravi, music journalist and co-founder NH7.in, in the jury as well.

Nirav Sanghvi, founder of BlogAdda.com speaks to Radioandmusic.com about the selection of the panel. “The people on the jury panel are virtuosos in their fields. All of them have been in content generation of some sorts and are known entities. The media may differ, but it is all content at the end of the day. Since blogs are all about content too, we have on board people who are great content producers for their respective media.”

Vasundhara Das, renowned singer and brainchild of Shah Hussain Project, said, “I do not even maintain a personal blog. But I have been invited to be a jury member on BlogAdda Awards, though. That’s happening end of September.” According to Nirav, since she is a voracious reader and understands online content, she would be good be a good judge. Gayatri Iyer, due to her knowledge of classical music will be more than equipped to be able to judge the blogs that fall under the music category. RJ Malishka has been creating content for radio for years and has charmed audiences with her raw and amiable voice. “It’s great to be part of an endeavour that celebrates blogging and recognizes the magnitude of its reach and influence on popular opinion, not only about current affairs, but also pop culture.” Said Eklavya, who was non-negotiable due to his knowledge of digital content. Arjun moved from freelancing for a host of publications to bringing to life NH7 Indiecision.

The voting will be done by jury and public with 80 and 20 per cent weightage respectively. The top 20 finalists from each category, after the jury voting, will be open to public voting, which is likely to go out in about four weeks time.

The BlogAdda awards are annually hosted by BlogAdda.com to find, recognise and honour the best blogs in India.
