Bupa launches Health Influencer Blog Awards

The 2013 Bupa Health Influencer Blog Awards are underway, with the health insurance company seeking the country’s leading health bloggers.

The awards have been broken up into six categories – Healthy Lifestyle, Healthy Eating, Family Time, Positive Life Change, Personal Development/Self Care and Social Good.

The finalists in each category will be short-listed by the Awards’ judging panel, which includes body&soul editor Gemma Sutherland, health activist and blogging expert Kathie Melocco, Bupa chief medical officer Dr. Paul Bates, and Olympic swimmer and Bupa health ambassador Matt Welsh. Of those finalists, one grand-prize winner will be awarded $5000 to spend on what they choose to improve their health, happiness and wellbeing.

The six runners up – a winner for each category – will receive an Apple iPad and have their blogs highlighted in Bupa’s Shine Magazine, which is distributed to several million Bupa members.
