Announcing the Finalists for Real-Time Photo of the Year
Photos shared publicly on social media sites can bring us behind the scenes and to the front lines in an immediate, unprecedented way.
Six finalists were chosen from your nominations for Real-Time Photo of the Year. They are a collection of photos taken in 2010, shot from a camera phone and uploaded to sites such as Twitpic, Yfrog, Tweetphoto, Facebook and Flickr.
The Real-Time Academy of Short Form Arts & Sciences will determine the winners from among these finalists. The announcement will be made at the Shorty Awards Ceremony on Monday, March 28th, 2011 at The TimesCenter in New York City. Tickets are on sale now. Are you a finalist?
