1Life launches socially influential DStv Mzansi Viewer\u2019s Choice award category<\/a>: <\/p>\n

12 July 2017, Johannesburg \u2013 The DStv Mzansi Viewer\u2019s Choice Awards were launched last week and with it, headline sponsor \u2013 1Life, launched a socially influential award category; The 1Life Life Changer Award! This award is in a class of its own – aimed at encouraging all South Africa\u2019s doting celebrity fans to not only vote for the who\u2019s who, but to vote for someone in their community who is socially influential and really changing lives through their commitment to those less fortunate.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very proud to be the headline sponsor for the DStv Mzansi Viewer\u2019s Choice Awards, where developing and recognising local talent \u2013 whether in business, on the sports field, or in the performing arts \u2013 is not only empowering and uplifting, but certainly, life changing,\u201d says Laurence Hillman, MD at 1Life.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis sponsorship really holds true to our mantra of Changing Lives, and I believe that the addition of the 1Life Life Changer Award generates an even stronger alignment to this concept, as it provides an excellent opportunity for South African\u2019s to be the voice of the people, to nominate someone who they believe is truly socially influential in the community \u2013 someone who is significantly changing lives,\u201d continues Hillman.<\/p>\n

The 1Life Life Changer Award will allow viewers to nominate everyday people from their communities, anywhere in South Africa. Nominees will then be short listed where a panel of judges, including representatives from DSTV, Mzansi Magic and 1Life, will decide on the most deserving nominees.<\/p>\n

The winner will be selected based on their social impact in the community, their continued motivation for the sustainable management of their projects and the positive\/long lasting effect of these projects on the communities in which they operate. The winners, as well as their nominator, will win a cash prize of R50 000 each.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no doubt that people working in their communities are short-funded, struggling to keep up with day to day demands and merely need a helping hand to continue to do the great work they are doing. This award empowers consumers to be part of the change, to choose these winners for themselves and to identify someone who not only needs the funding but deserves the recognition for their commitment to changing the lives of those around them,\u201d says Hillman.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to the upcoming weeks of ongoing nominations and encourage all South African\u2019s to get involved by voting, not only for the nominees but very importantly, to give back by nominating those people in their communities that are truly change agents!\u201d concludes Hillman.<\/p>\n
