One night for the people who shape the feed.
The National Social Media Awards honour the people who really move social media. Creators, communities, agencies and brands. Austria gets its own edition, part of a family that is also celebrated in London and Los Angeles.
Nominations come from the community, not from a jury behind closed doors. Whoever gets the most votes ends up on that stage.

Nominations come from outside and the vote is public. No panel behind closed doors.
