2013 Streaming Media European Readers' Choice Awards: Now Accepting Nominations
This year, our annual Streaming Media Europe event—the newly announced Streaming Forum—is moving from October to June, and our annual European Readers' Choice Awards is moving along with it. This is your chance to nominate (and later vote for) the products and services that you feel lead the pack in 16 categories, from Best Live Webcast to Video Advert Platform and everything in between.
The first step in the awards is to make a nomination in any or all of the categories below before Monday 1 April. Our editorial staff will then look over all the nominations to make sure they're in the proper categories, and we'll announce the final nominees on 10 April, at which time online voting will open. We'll announce the top 3 finalists in each category in May, and we'll present the winners at the Streaming Forum at the Park Plaza Victoria in London on 18 June.
We'll also post the winners online and print them in the Autumn issue of Streaming Media—European Edition magazine. You can see a list of the 2012 winners here.
