The Official Shorty Awards Blog

The Polls Are Open.

Start voting!

We know you’ve been sitting at your computer for hours, itching for voting to open.  Well friends, the time has come, and this year we have even more tools to help you campaign for social glory. Just go to http://shortyawards.com/you, upload a campaign video using our new embed feature, fill out the Shorty interview, and tell the world why you deserve a Shorty Award. Like any good ol’ fashioned campaign, we have badges you can grab for your blog, vlog, website, your friend’s website, your friend’s, friend’s website…

And you can grab Obama’sRomney’sSantorum’s, or Paul’s badge to take part in their campaigns as well! Don’t wait for the Iowa Caucus to cast your vote for the people in office you believe in (and that use social media the most effectively, of course).
