How do I vote?

• To vote, send a tweet like this: I nominate @TwitterUser for a Shorty Award in #category because [add reason here]. You can do this using the form on our site, from Twitter itself, or from any Twitter client.
• You can also send shorter votes like this: #shortyawards @username #category [add reason here]. This short format is helpful when you want to vote from a party, on the road, in a meeting, or on a boat.
• A tweet that ends in "because..." 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 Featured Categories, or make up a category of your own. If a new category becomes popular, it might be turned into an Featured Category.
