Vote in The Webby People’s Voice Awards on YouTube

The Webby Awards and YouTube are joining forces for the second year in a row, giving fans a more interactive Webby experience than ever. For the first time in the history of the Webbys, fans can vote for their favorites in the People's Voice Awards right on YouTube. Fans have until April 29 to vote for their favorite Webby-nominated videos through the Webbys YouTube channel at http://youtube.com/webby.

Last year’s Webby Awards YouTube brand channel was featured as the #1 YouTube channel in the days following the award festivities. Prior to 2009, Webby Awards show content was available only to event attendees, but the new YouTube brand channel has tremendously expanded their reach. With over 1.5 million video views from the channel in its first week last year, David-Michel Davies, executive director of The Webby Awards expects even better performance in 2010 "since it's the first time fans can vote on the YouTube brand channel for their favorite Webby nominees in The Webby People's Voice Awards."

The "Watch The Webbys on YouTube" experience will launch again for June 2010, but between now and April 29, the online public can cast votes and choose their own winners at http://youtube.com/webby.
