Shameless Self-Promo: Have You Voted 'Best of Austin' Yet?

By Jette Kernion on September 10, 2012 - 1:30pm in

The deadline to vote in the annual Austin Chronicle Best of Austin awards is today (11:59 pm CST, to be precise). Have you voted yet?

If you have not, I'd like to point out a couple of interesting categories in the Media section:

  • Film Critic
  • Local Entertainment Website

Why yes, that's a hint. All right, forget about the hinting, I'd love it if you voted for our website.

Last year, Slackerwood was fortunate enough to win a critics' pick award for Best Austin Movie Blog in the critics' pick section of the awards for our News Mega-Feed. I couldn't have been happier. This year, I'm wondering if we can at least be a contender in the awards you vote on, which would be pretty amazing. We have a number of great film critics here as well -- pick your favorite.

I also want to note that the Austin Chronicle ballot includes a category for "Emergent Local Filmmaker" in the Arts and Entertainment section. If you're at a loss for someone to pick, all you have to do is browse through Slackerwood -- we've got plenty of articles profiling Austin independent filmmakers and their work, especially in the Local Indies category.
