We’re accepting nominations until Wednesday, November 5, 2010 at 5 PM Eastern time. Email daniel at newmediacincinnati dot com. UPDATE: Nominations are now closed. I received one additional nomination, for Kevin Dugan, which I’ve included below. Voting is now open – register here.

Below are the nominations received so far. I’ve also included the text – where provided to me – that others have used when nominating.

NMC Digital Native Award

Mike Boehmer

• “I believe Mike Boehmer deserves to win the NMC Digital Award. I know from personal experience that Mike spends so much time reading books and searching the Internet to learn the latest trends. And he is always on his Droid and uses other tools to practice what he knows… And he generously shares his knowledge with others through networking, personal contacts and his blog. Mike has become known around the city as someone who not only knows social media; but actually practices it.

  “Here is a list of talks and services he has given free of charge to help promote digital literacy and community building over the past year:

  • Bold Fusion by Cincinnati USA Chamber of Commerce in 2009
  • Clermont County Chamber of Commerce Social Media Bootcamp
  • Cincinnati PRSA chapter
  • Ohio Job and Family Services IT directors in Columbus
  • Ohio Job and Family Services county and state agency directors in Columbus
  • New Thought Unity Center community training session
  • Hamilton County employees training
  • Applesiders (Apple users) group
  • Arkansas Department of Human Services
  • Served as the first social media chair of the Cincinnati Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America. Tweeted and/or blogged from many of PRSA’s events this year
  • Was named Hamilton County Employee of the Year for Innovation in 2009 (to help improve communication with the community after the agency’s  cutbacks)
  • Social media work at Hamilton County JFS has been detailed in several national government journals
  • Served as guest blogger at BlogWell and guest Tweeter at Bold Fusion 2010.
  • Always tweeting/blogging from events such as the Digital Non-Conference.”

Michelle Beckham

• “… for her inspiration and leadership in delivering for our community Social Media with a servant’s soul.”
• “I would like to nominate Michelle Beckham for the Digital Native Award  She has been helping the community with presenting & teaching classes for New Media over that past year.”
• “This is the hardest one, because I feel like it described so many of our members. I would like to nominate Michelle Beckham-Corbin because I feel like she has a reach beyond the online community and is able to help non-natives feel comfortable and see the benefits of social media.”

Daniel Johnson, Jr.

• “I nominate Daniel Johnson, Jr. No one else is out as early and often as him.”

Christian Sheehy

• “I am nominating Christian Sheehy for the Digital Native Award. Christian is the manager of the TechCenter in the main public library downtown. Since he was hired into the position, he increased the quantity and quality of free classes, enabled TechCenter staff to develop new classes, and has taught countless people skills from using a mouse to connecting with people over LinkedIn.

Kevin Dugan

UPDATE: Kevin Dugan has asked to be removed from the list of nominees so that others may receive the spotlight. More details here.

• “I would like to nominate Kevin Dugan for the Digital Native Award. Kevin goes above and beyond to bring best-in-class business examples of digital/social media tool implementation to the surrounding community via the many touch-points that carry his digital signature:
  • @prblog on Twitter
  • Strategic Public Relations Blog
  • Co-Founder of Cincinnati Social Media (CincySM, Inc.)
  • Moderator for the CincySM LinkedIn Group Community
  • and multitude of other spaces.

Kevin is the tireless face that is pushing the message about the great things that are happening in Cincinnati; whether it’s P&G’s Man of the House Blog, The Brandery, or United Way’s social media campaign to raise awareness and donations. His efforts are contributing to Cincinnati’s development as a digital hub. Kevin volunteers his time and expertise as a speaker at many local events/conferences like SummitUp. He is the real deal talking about how the rubber in social media meets the road and makes an impact on business results.

NMC Digital Giving First Award

Michelle Beckham

Vickie Sceifers

Christiaan Todd

• “I’m nominating Christiaan Todd for the Digital Giving First Award. He is the go to guy when it comes to techy stuff.  He is always sharing apps for my phone or computer that make life simpler and fun.  He analyzes and knows the best tools to get the job done.  He has been very active on LinkedIn, FB,Twitter, YouTube, his company’s blog, and our NMC group.  He loves to take pics to promote the NMC group.  He is always giving advice on forums, suggesting phones to use, processes to follow. People are always calling, DMing, posting, and asking how to do “this is or that” when it comes to communicating through New Media – and he loves to share the cool tools he knows.  I’m always amazed at the information he knows.  He just gets it and he doesn’t mind helping others.  Maybe one day I can convince him to start a blog sharing the cool tools and tips he knows (actually Michelle Beckham suggested this recently and I think it is a grand idea).”

Crystal Thies

• “Crystal Thies was the first person I thought of here. She is so willing to share her knowledge, and I know her help has had an impact on many members of NMC, and the greater community as well.”

NMC Digital Go the Distance Dedication Award

Tom Rockhold

• “I nominate Tom, the heavy duty tech guy who lives in Reynoldsburg, Ohio and comes down to almost every meeting we have in Cincinnati.”

Daniel Johnson, Jr.

• “I’m nominating Daniel Johnson, Jr. for the Digital Go the Distance Award. Daniel not only founded the group but has kept it going.  He has not only kept it going but kept it interesting and fun.  His knowledge and innovativeness are very inspiring. I love when people come up with great ideas and he is full of them.”

Don and Vickie Sceifers

• “I want to nominate a team for this one, if that’s allowed: Don and Vickie Sceifers! I know they don’t technically travel extraordinarily far, but the resources they’ve used to help the community, with video and Ustream, etc, have been awesome (especially when I’ve been sick and had to miss a meeting!)”

In this audio from the March 2009 New Media Cincinnati meetup, we hear a short “JOLT” session from Vickie Sceifers, who talks about embracing the new look of Facebook (March 2009 changes to Facebook).
