Alongside his studies Rhys Stevenson manages to oversee Global Metal Apocalypse [http://globalmetalapocalypse.weebly.com/], a blog which aims to give bands from around the world an international platform for their music. His Business Management degree is helping him develop the site commercially, but has also been vital in developing his blogging skills. Now he has been nominated twice in the UK Blog Awards (#UKBA14) in the Arts and Culture category and Young Persons category following an online vote. Rhys will find out on Friday 25 April if he has won. Find out more: www.essex.ac.uk/news/event.aspx?e_id=6450
