Shorty Vox Populi:
New this year, the person or organization with the most nominations in a featured category is the recipient of the Shorty Vox Populi distinction. For a chance to win a Shorty Award, finalists from several of the featured categories have been chosen to be presented to the Real-Time Academy of Short Form Arts & Sciences (http://rtacademy.org). The Academy will then select one from each chosen category to declare as a Shorty Award winner, complete with 140-character acceptance speeches.
Who are the finalists and the Shorty Vox Populi?!
