Forget the VMAs, BAFTAs and MOBOs... as we present: the NISMAs!

Social media is a powerful tool. The whole reason the phenomenon of social media has gripped the world is people power. You make social media so special - it's up to you to vote for your favourites!

These awards are about giving credit where it’s due, and it seems that everyone who nominated agrees with us! All finalists received nominations and are worthy of their place. Please do take the time to check out as many as possible.
