What do George Takei and Esther Dyson have in common? They are both winners of a Shorty Award. The Shorty Awards, in their 6th year, honor the best of social media short form content from ask.fm to YouTube.

The Shorty Awards, brainchild of Sawhorse Media, have a variety of categories split between those “for everyone” and those “for brands & agencies” and include things like the GIF of the Year and the Best Brand on Twitter. The number of nominations plus input from the new Shorty Awards Nominating Board determines the finalists for each category. Here is our list of a few of the nominees in our favorite categories.

For last year’s Shorty Awards over 2 million Tweet nominations were sent during a nomination process that only lasted about 6 weeks. This year has been just as prolific. No doubt it will be a real challenge for the Real-Time Academy to choose the winners.
