Shorty Awards
The Shorty Awards, also known as the Shortys, is an annual awards event, recognizing the people and organizations producing real-time short form content across Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, YouTube, Instagram, Vine, and the rest of the social Web. The awards are organized by the co-founders of the Brooklyn-based startup company Sawhorse Media.〔("Shorty Award Winners Unveiled in New York City" ), John S. and James L. Knight Foundation〕 Greg Galant is CEO and Co-founder and Lee Semel is CTO and Co-founder of Sawhorse Media.〔http://sawhorsemedia.com/team/ "Sawhorse Media Team"〕 Since their creation in 2008, the awards have expanded beyond Twitter to recognize content creation on other social networking sites, including YouTube, Tumblr, Instagram, Vine, Snapchat, and Facebook.
Twitter users nominate six finalists in each award category, and a panel of expert and celebrity judges choose winners. An awards ceremony is held each spring and streamed live on the official website. Each award recognizes the entire body of work of the content creator, rather than an individual tweet or post. A 2012 ''Forbes'' magazine article about the awards commented: "The Shortys recognize that social media is about more than who can get the most followers ... we are creating millions of pieces of new writing that will define our generation. ... These writings ... are creating our history of record."〔Dube, Jon. ("Why The Shorty Awards Matter" ), ''Forbes'', March 26, 2012, accessed February 20, 2013〕
