Nominate the Best Tweets on Twitter

Every established medium gets its own award show; why should Twitter be any different?

That’s right folks, it’s time to pay your respects to the very best visionaries who were able to hammer out 140 characters. Whether you have spotted the smartest, funniest or snarkiest tweet – nominate your favorites.

There is no registration and the winners will be announced on October 1.

Check it out here and view a full list of awards below. You can also grab a badge to help promote the effort.
