This year’s Social Media Awards are an opportunity to celebrate the advocates, young leaders, forward thinkers, and other global health professionals who use social media to promote dialogue and catalyze action on malaria.
Under the overarching theme “Malaria Heroes”, nominations are being accepted in the following 6 categories:
- Regional Malaria Champion: Asia Pacific

- Innovator
- Young Leader
- People’s Choice for Best Social Communications
