The #SocialFitness Shorty Award, in partnership with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield’s Health. Join In., honors an individual who helps others to make healthy choices in their lives through their influence on social media. Ideal #SocialFitness award nominees use Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and the social web to share milestones, healthful recipes, safe weight-loss strategies, exercise tips and gain support from friends and followers.

The #SocialFitness Shorty Award winner will be selected based on the total number of nominations received, the impact and creativity of the nominee’s tweets, and innovation in the use of social media as determined by the esteemed judges of the Real-Time Academy of Short Form Arts & Sciences. Eligibility is limited to individuals who have started leading more healthful lives and sharing their strategies prior to the award announcement.
