You've heard of the Golden Globes, but what about the Golden Hashtags? The BYU University Communications team hosted the third annual BYU Social Media Awards, an event to recognize BYU departments and affiliated organizations for their savvy online efforts.
To compete for a Golden Hashtag, social media managers from across BYU submitted entries in a variety of categories, judged by Todd Hollingshead, Joe Hadfield and Jon McBride.
Congratulations to this year's winners. See all the winning entries on the BYU Social Media Awards Tumblr
