The organizers of the TRAFFIC conference announced this morning that nominations for the 2013 T.R.A.F.F.I.C. AWARDS are now open.
Nominations will remain open until Friday. August 2nd at 6 P.M. EDT.
All those that are eligible to vote should have received an email this morning containing the ballot and some new rules:
“We have added a few new guidelines this year to maintain the integrity of the voting process as the last 2 years were record breakers for voting.”
“1. Nominations must be made by a 3rd party – you cannot nominate yourself.”
“2. We reserve the right to limit the amount of nominees in any category.”
“The T.R.A.F.F.I.C. AWARDS have become the most sought-after and prestigious Domain Industry awards presented annually. This year marks the 10th Annual Awards. The Awards Ceremony is scheduled to take place at T.R.A.F.F.I.C. 2013, to be held at the Ft. Lauderdale Beach Ritz-Carlton Resort on Tuesday, October 22 2013.”
