• Social Search
• Sports and Fitness
• Photo Sharing
• Video Sharing
• Start Pages
• Places and Events

Call For Open Web Awards Nominations

from the it's-award-time dept

The Open Web Awards have been created to recognize the best online communities on the web. In the spirit of collaboration, instead of building a central site to handle nominations and voting, Techdirt and its readers, along with 30 other blog communities, have been invited to be part of the nomination process. It sounded like a fun idea, so we decided to give it a try.

The contest recognizes sites in 13 different categories:

• Mainstream and Large Scale Networks
• Applications and Widgets
• Social News and Social Bookmarking
• Social Search
• Sports and Fitness
• Photo Sharing
• Video Sharing
• Start Pages
• Places and Events
• Music
• Social Shopping
• Mobile
• Niche and Miscellaneous Social Networks

If you would like to nominate a site for an award, please do so in the comments with a subject in the form of "NOMINATE: [category name]: [site name]" -- nominations will be compiled the evening of Tuesday, December 4th, after which a few rounds of voting will commence.
