Social media empowers people to grow their brands, get attention to their cause, and sometimes even change the world. At the Shorty Awards, we celebrate amazing social media work and marketers through an international award show honoring the best creators, brands, agencies, and organizations. We were the first awards to honor creativity on social, and by staying true to our roots, we remain the most prominent award show of our kind.

Join our club to chat about the state of social today & tomorrow, plus meet the brightest minds in the industry. And, make sure you tune in to the #ShortysGoneSocial this year as we honor the best work in social media...on social media. Here’s what’s going down for the 2021 awards:
