Volunteer Opportunities

1. General office work: This entails general work to help manage the many facets of the Black Web Awards. Obviously, interested persons must reside in the Maryland area. As the BWA's grow, some compensation will be available. For consideration, some additional information will be required.
2. Academy of Judges: The Academy of Judges is the all volunteer group that reviews all "at large" nominations. Volunteers should love going online and have some free time to do so. You can expect to review a few hundred websites, and complete an online form. You will work under a deadline, but will have an array of resources to assist you. This is perhaps the most important function in the organization for the BlackWebAwards. Volunteers are not required to live in the Baltimore area.
3. Strategic Planning: These Volunteers will help in the overall organization for the Third Annual Black Web Awards. Meetings will be held bi weekly to begin, and will increase in frequency. You should have a burning desire to participate in all aspects of the BlackWebAwards, and honestly, the schedule availability to do so. Where other things are not completed, these Volunteers are going to be relied upon to make certain the finished project reflects excellence. The Black Web Awards are a global event, so knowledge of international trends online is a must.
4. Marketing and Public Relations: These Volunteers are primarily responsible for the developing the public image of the BlackWebAwards. The BWA’s are a global event, so familiarity with marketing to an international audience strongly preferred. Persons representing organizations or companies interested in developing a marketing plan for the BlackWebAwards are welcome to submit their information for additional discussions.
