Honoring different brands, agencies, and organizations worldwide, the Shorty Impact Awards released their finalists for this year’s annual awards.

Classified into different categories such as “Strategy and Engagement,” “Special Project,” “Partnerships,” “Original Content,” “By Platform,” “By Industry,” “By Cause,” and By “Campaign,” the prestigious award-giving body has released its finalists from different brands and companies worldwide.

Since 2008, the Shorty Awards have started to recognize different brands that implement campaigns through different social media platforms to promote a healthier environment in online media, not only for companies but also for social media users.

Upon choosing these entries to enter the finalists’ category, the Shorty Awards campaigns were judged by the Real Time Academy, which has three main criteria for judging: creativity, strategy, and engagement of the campaign.

Besides its score from the judges, the Shorty Awards will also give special recognition to the campaign that receives a high number of public votes from the audience, which will be named ‘Audience Honor.’

To get such an award, the finalists are all eligible to compete for this title, allowing them to share their entry polls with their fans to gather more public votes.

For voting, the audience can access the finalists through their website and should have their email registered to have an account to vote for their chosen entry. Public votes will be accepted until October 26.
