Readers' Choice Awards Voting Opens Today
The journey towards determining the best of online video technology continues, as today we open up voting for the 2013 流媒体 Readers' Choice Awards. It's the only awards program in the industry where the winners are chosen by you, the people who actually use the products and services that we'll honor at 流媒体 West.

The journey began in July, when we solicited nominations in each of our 26 categories. We received more than 475 nominations, and after we got rid of duplicates, we have a total of 253 nominees. If, as you go through the voting process, you find an instance where a product or service is missing from a given category, please contact us at readerschoice@nkgx.net, and we'll evaluate the request and make the addition if it's appropriate.
Voting is open until October 25. Last year, more than 58,000 people voted in the awards.
We'll announce the top 3 finalists in each category on November 1, and we'll reveal the winners at 流媒体 West in Huntington Beach CA on November 20. This year's Readers' Choice Awards are sponsored by Wowza 媒体 Systems and Teradek.
Winners are also featured in the December/January issue of 流媒体 magazine, on Streaming媒体.com, and published in Streaming媒体 Xtra newsletter.
Also at 流媒体 West, we'll be announcing the winner of the first 流媒体 生产商 Challenge. 我们 提供一个 brand new Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital SLR Camera to the filmmaker who can deliver the most exciting, mind-blowing 15-second promo for the 流媒体 brand. The 流媒体 生产商 Challenge is sponsored by Limelight Networks and Teradek.
