“Hollywood has the Oscars. Broadway has the Tonys. Now Twitter has the…Shorty Awards” -The New York Times
The Shorty Awards are a worldwide effort to engage hundreds of thousands of Twitter users to identify the best people and organizations on Twitter. These unique awards are for the Twitter community, by the Twitter community. Online voting is public and democratic, culminating in an awards ceremony that recognizes the winners in 27 official categories as well as those in brand new crowd-sourced ones.
The second annual Shorty Awards nomination process has begun! In January 2010, the community is invited to nominate Twitter users for excellence over the past year. The awards recognize each content creator’s entire body of work, not just an individual tweet. Nominations are made by sending a tweet, whether it’s through this site or on Twitter.
In February, the nominees will be narrowed down to five finalists in each category. Winners will be determined by a combination of popular vote and by the members of the new Real-Time Academy of Short Form Arts & Sciences. An awards ceremony, complete with 140-character acceptance speeches, will be held in March in New York City.
Voting
=To vote, send a tweet like this: I nominate @TwitterUser for a Shorty Award in #category because… (add reason here). You can do this on Twitter.com, with any Twitter client, or using the voting box on our site
=You can also send shorter votes like this: #shortyawards @username #category (add quick reason here). This shorter format is helpful if you want to vote from a party, on the road, in a meeting, or on a boat
=A tweet that does not give a reason for the nomination will not be counted
=Vote for as many different people as you want in as many categories as you want, as often as you want
=Only one person and one category per tweet
=Voting for the same person in the same category more than once just replaces the text of your original vote
=You can vote in any of the Official Categories or make up a category of your own. If a new category becomes popular, it might be turned into an Official Category with an award presented at the ceremony in March
Rules
=Twitterers are welcome to campaign and encourage their friends to vote for them
=Voters must be active Twitter users prior to the start of the competition.
=Votes originating from new Twitter accounts or accounts used mainly for Shorty Awards voting will automatically be disqualified and will not count toward the rankings
=If you change your Twitter user name, any votes you received under your old user name won’t carry over
Winner Selection
#The five users with the highest rank in each official category become finalists
#To determine the winner in each category, the Academy’s choices will be combined with the popular vote
#Winners will be invited to an awards ceremony in New York City to be honored
