The 2007 FishbowlDC Hottest Media Types Contest

UPDATE: APPARENTLY ALL OF YOUR HOTNESS MESSED WITH OUR ANONYMOUS TIPS BOX(ES) TODAY. ALL SEEMS TO BE WORKING NOW, BUT WE STILL PROBABLY LOST A LOT OF YOUR SUBMISSIONS FROM EARLIER. SO BE A SWEETY AND RESUBMIT, WILL YA? AFTER ALL, YOUR HOTNESS IS TOTALLY WORTH THE EFFORT.

AND PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE: SEND A PICTURE OR A LINK TO A PICTURE OF YOUR FAVORITE HOTTIE. WE’RE SURE THAT JOE SCHMOE FROM SO AND SO NEWS ORGANIZATION IS WICKED HOT, BUT UNTIL THE NATIONAL PRESS CLUB MAKES A FACEBOOK FOR EVERY SINGLE JOURNALIST / PR PERSON / CAPITOL HILL PRESS SECRETARY IN TOWN, WE’LL NEED YOUR HELP. YOUR CHANCES OF MAKING THE FINAL CUT DRASTICALLY IMPROVE IF WE CAN, WELL, ACTUALLY SEE WHAT THE PERSON LOOKS LIKE.

OTHERWISE, WE’LL HAVE TO SEND FISHBOWLDC INTERNS TO YOUR OFFICES TO ASSESS THE HOTNESS IN PERSON.

SO, ONCE AGAIN…WITH FEELING…

****************

The long wait is over and now it’s time for you to reap the rewards of all of those long hours in the gym.

And is there any better way to endure the slow summer news cycle than by spending hours at your computer voting in our Hottest Media Types poll?

Beginning today, we’ll accept nominations for FishbowlDC’s 2007 Hottest Media Types Contest. Here’s how it’ll work:

We have six categories (including two new ones):

Hottest Male, On Air

Hottest Male, Off Air

Hottest Female, On Air

Hottest Female, Off Air

NEW CATEGORIES:

Hottest Male in P.R.

Hottest Female in P.R. (after all: How empty would all of our inboxes be without all of those press releases?)

NOTE: “Hottest Male/Female in P.R.” can (and, really, should) include all those lovely Capitol Hill press secretaries.

(See the 2006 winners here and the 2005 winners here.)

REMEMBER:

They have to be DC-based and in the media.

Make sure you let us know who they are (i.e. job title, job location) and provide an email.

Be sure to send us a picture (or a link to one) if you can.

Anonymity guaranteed in the nomination process (even if you, ahem, nominate yourself).

We love it when you describe how hot they are, so do that if you can.

We will accept nominations through the end of next week and then select the finalists. After that, the voting will begin.

Send us an email (fishbowlDC at mediabistro dot com) or drop us a line in the anonymous tips box with your nominees.

SO, WHO’S HOT?!?

Launch a social media campaign that will build your brand and deliver results in our online Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting June 7. Speakers include Abigail Cusick (Bravo Digital), Gregory Galant (Sawhorse Media), Alex Leo (Thomson Reuters Digital), Jim Tobin (Ignite Social Media), and many more. Read the reviews.
