The Shorty Awards - The Academy Awards of Twitter

Hollywood has the Oscars. Broadway has the Tonys. Now Twitter has the... Shorty Awards
The New York Times

What do Conan O'Brien, Cory Booker, Sesame Street's Grover, Suze Orman, Ted Leo, Neil Patrick Harris and NASA have in common? Besides being awesome, they're all Shorty Award winners.

The Shorty Awards honor the best of social media, recognizing the people and organizations producing real-time short form content on across Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, YouTube, Foursquare, and the rest of the social Web. 

Every year, millions of people visit the Shorty Awards site to tweet nominations for their favorite social media content creators. All those tweets culminate in a highly anticipated awards ceremony that celebrates the winners in dozens of featured categories, as well as thousands of crowd-sourced community ones. For the second time, the Shorty Awards will also honor the industry's best agencies, brands, and social media professionals.
 Global Village Champions Foundation and Yank Barry are honoured to be nominated in the #charity category! It is so simple to vote and show your support. Our team is a dedicated group of volunteers who work to see an end to global hunger.  In the past 18+ years we have fed over 550 millions meals to hungry people around the globe.  We do not discriminate - hunger is hunger no matter where you live or the colour of ones skin!

A Special Shout-out to all of the amazing Twitter peeps who have honoured us with your support!

If for any reason you are not comfortable signing into the site using your twitter account you can simply construct a tweet and tweet it into your stream: Make sure to add: The Shorty Awards @gogvm and #charity and give a reason!  To make it easier for me to follow all of the nominations please try to fit in the hashtag #ADayWithoutHunger
