8th Annual Shorty Awards: Vote for Your Favorite Social Media Influencers

This year the Shorty Awards are recognizing the native talent on social media, including emerging social platforms like Snapchat and Periscope.

The nominees for the 8th Annual Shorty Awards, recognizing the best content and influencers on social media, are in. In addition to including the usual social media platforms — Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Vine, Instagram and Tumblr — this year Periscope is being included for the first time.

With the growing influence of social on TV and vice versa, the Shorty Awards are also recognizing notable Social TV crossovers including Empire, How to Get Away With Murder, Game of Thrones, and The Late Late Show With James Corden.

While there are plenty of nods to big brand and Hollywood influence in social, perhaps most notable is the recognition of social media’s most influential native talent.
