What’s the Shorty Awards?
The Shorty Awards honor the best of social media, by recognizing the people and organizations producing real-time short form content on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, YouTube, Foursquare, and the rest of the social Web.
Vote For Us
We are a team of professional female gamers recruited by Ubisoft to promote their video games and represent women in the game industry. One of the ways we do this is through social media. We have a huge online presence and a number of well established social media sites. We strive to inspire women out there to pursue their dreams in the gaming industry, whether it be in development, marketing or just being kick ass gamers.
How to vote for the Frag Dolls
What To Do:When you vote for the Frag Dolls make sure your tweet looks like this. “I vote for @FragDolls for a shorty award in #gaming because [your reason placed here]. That will count as your one vote…
What Not To Do: Do not tweet after you’ve voted."Vote for @FragDolls for a shorty award in #gaming because… And give your reason.” When you tweet that, your last tweet (which was your actual vote) it will be replaced with this tweet instead (your call to vote will not be your actual vote).
Thanks to Shortyawards.com/rules here are the Rules of Voting
- To make a nomination, fill out the nomination form at ShortyAwards.com or send a tweet like this: I nominate @TwitterUser for a Shorty Award in #category because… [must add reason here].
2. You can also tweet shorter nominations like this: #shortyawards @username #category [must add reason here].
3. Be as creative with the reason. A tweet without a reason for the nomination will not be counted.
4. The nomination must be relevant to the category.
5. Vote for as many different people as you want, in as many categories as you want, as often as you want.
6. Only one nominee and one category per tweet.
7. Voting for the same person in the same category more than once simply replaces the text of your original vote; it does not count as an additional vote.
8. You can vote in any of the featured category or create a community category. If a community category becomes popular and has enough compelling finalists, it could become a featured category.
9. Nominees and potential nominees (everyone on earth) are welcome to campaign and encourage friends to vote for them. Nominees are encouraged to take the Shorty interview and embed campaign videos to help both voters and members of the Academy get to know them.
10. If you change your Twitter username, any votes you received under your old user name won’t carry over.
11. Nominees can delete any nomination received by logging into the Shorty Awards profile page and clicking the “delete” link next to that nomination.
12. Nominations in certain Special Awards categories may have special instructions. Read each Special Award page to find out how to make nominations in one of those categories. Please note that there may also be exceptions to the rules for certain featured categories that supercede the general Shorty Awards rules.
13. The Shorty Awards use several algorithms to automatically disqualify nomination activity that appears to be intended to game the system. We also perform periodic audits to check if our system is being gamed.
14. Nominators must be active Twitter users prior to the start of the competition. Votes originating from new Twitter accounts or accounts used mainly for Shorty Awards voting will automatically be disqualified and will not count toward the rankings.
