Nominations are now open for the 2020 Catholic Social Media Awards, to be presented at a virtual ceremony on March 20, 2021.

The Catholic Social Media Awards, which began in 2015, aims to honor individuals and institutions who have contributed to the spread of the “Good News” through social media.

Among its primary objectives are to motivate and encourage parishes, dioceses and church organizations to deliver Catholic content and to stand against online disinformation.

Now on its fifth year, the initiative is in support of the Church’s call to use social media as a platform for evangelization, especially now in light of the Covid-19 pandemic.

CSMA is a project of Youth Pinoy, a group of young Filipino Catholics, in partnership with Areopagus Communications, Inc., and the Media Office of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines.

Nominees will be ranked based on their content’s impact, relevance, as well as their page’s responsiveness and engagement rates, among others.

CSMA is accepting nominations in the following categories until February 25, 2021:

• • Best Parish Facebook Page
  • Best Facebook Public Group
  • Best Parish Website
  • Best Catholic Blog

  • Catholic Song of the Year
