Voting Now Open in 2015 Streaming Media European Readers' Choice Awards
The nominations are in—all 325 of them—and voting is now open in the 2015 Streaming Media European Readers' Choice Awards. It's the ninth annual installment of the only awards program in the online video industry in which you, the readers, have your say by selecting the products and services that have most impressed you over the past year.
Voting will be open until 10 July. At that point, all voters will receive an email asking them to to confirm their votes; only these confirmed votes will be counted. We'll announce the finalists—the three top vote-getters in each of our 15 categories—on July 17, and the winners will be announced in the Autumn issue of the European version of Streaming Media magazine.
