The Second Annual Shorty Awards Are Here

As Twitter said in its post about the awards, “Newsworthy, funny, interesting, or important—tweets find their way into our lives more and more.” The Shorty Awards are back to honor the best short content producers on Twitter.

Short doesn’t mean small: The Second Annual Shorty Awards are bigger and better than ever. This month the Twittersphere is invited to nominate its favorite Twitterers across dozens of official and crowd-sourced categories. Public and democratic voting culminates in a New York City ceremony that showers glory—and hashtags—on the winners.

Thanks to support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation for making the expansion of the Shorty Awards possible
