Corve DaCosta – coast to coast

I feel proud to be the organiser and founder of the Jamaica Blog Awards. Each year, we aim to identify and celebrate the best bloggers out of Jamaica. Before I started the Jamaica Blog Awards, I asked myself if the process would identify the most brilliant bloggers here. I haven’t doubted the process one bit as the best bloggers were finalists in the inaugural year in 2010. With our second year just concluded, I still believe that the Jamaica Blog Awards continues to highlight blogging stars in Jamaica. I am proud of each winner and feel even more overwhelmed to have successful brands associate their companies with the JBA. This year, we introduced the Personal Achievement Award for excellence in blogging in Jamaica. Annie Paul, with her impressive blog Active Voice received that award.
