Mashable Open Web Awards Voting is Open

The Mashable Open Web Awards is the only multilingual (i.e., in several languages) international online voting competition that covers major innovations in web technology. Through an online nominating and voting process, the Open Web Awards recognizes and honors the top achievements in 26 different categories.

This year, Mashable is partnering with over 100 blog partners. For extra security, they’re using Poll Daddy. You might want to also note that they’ve extended the period of voting: you can vote from until Sunday, November 30th 11:59 pm PST. So, if you will do all us a favor, please use the following to vote for the Open Web Awards.

Of course, as an official blog partner I would like to thank the following sponsors of the Open Web Awards:
