The room is set, the red carpet is laid, radioinfo’s social media reporters are ready and waiting.

It’s nearly time for the 2013 Australian Commercial Radio Awards.

This year’s awards are set to be the biggest yet from a social media point of view.

Commercial Radio Australia dipped its toes into social media last year and this year has gone further. Each winner’s name will be tweeted as it is announced, and of course radioinfo will also tweet the results @radioinfo for those following us.

At yesterday’s conference CRA was active on twitter, facebook and instagram to the point where the hashtag #CRAconf was trending top ten in Australia for five hours.

Will #ACRAs2013 trend as well tonight?

If some of the social media activity so far is anything to go by, it just might. The ladies have been tweeting about their preparations all afternoon on that hashtag…

And so have some of the blokes…

 

Our team of social media reporters tonight is Holly Spillane, Ashleigh Blucher and Gaby Fitzgerald. They will capture the winners just moments after they receive their awards and will tweet photos and upload their award acceptance speeches direct to radioinfo.  Refresh our stories during the evening to keep in touch with the latest.

Check your table number on the lists before you enter the room. Once inside there will be a pre-dinner drink waiting for you.

See you at the ACRAs!…
