byAçores Nominated for Best Travel Blog – BOWA 2019

byAçores was born out of a great passion and love for the Azores and its fantastic 9 islands that make up the Archipelago. It is an ambitious and, at the same time, challenging project. The goal is clear: to promote the Azores as a destination.

When we started this “small” adventure, we wanted to make a difference by writing several articles about the different islands, with tips on traveling to the Azores, what to visit, points of interest, curiosities, recipes, and everything that encompasses this paradise in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

Update: We want to thank everyone for the support, votes, promotion of our voting link, and all the efforts made to get the Azores to the podium. However, despite being one of the most voted by the public, we did not win any award. Thank you, everyone.

As a community is made up of many people, we opened the doors for all interested parties to be part of it, by registering users who would have access to an area where they could submit photos, businesses, restaurants, and accommodations in the Azores. This way, the project became richer in information and, for those visiting the Azores, an authentic digital “brochure” with all the necessary information.

The Azores Photo Archive, with photos submitted by users, allows anyone to see how beautiful our islands are and spark interest in adventure and discovery. All perspectives and details fuel curiosity and admiration.

It is also a showcase and personal portfolio, where through a photo gallery, you can show the world your work, whether amateur or professional.
