What are "Ambassadors" on a site?
Elizabeth (Alaska) wrote: "What are "Ambassadors" on a site?"Nevermind. I googled and got this:
Online brand ambassadors typically work through social media and online to raise awareness about a company. Typical tasks of an online brand ambassador include: Posting about a product on your social media platforms. Posting on online message boards or chat groups. Writing reviews on customer review sites.
It's pretty clear to me that "Ambassador" awards do not fit the GR requirement of:
A literary award should be presented annually by a recognized literary source such as a writers' organization, book council, library association, publishing house, or major review site.
If this one doesn't have a clear winner it doesn't qualify anyway. But I was wanting a general ruling on if Ambassadors on a site giving awards counts.
Edit: It is on the Wattpad site, so Wattpad obviously ok with this. But I think clarification would be good.
