Hello, hello. Attention, please.
Last week we asked you to nominate some of Baltimore’s best and brightest for our first-ever, extremely important, v prestigious NET/WORK Awards. Categories ranged from Best Office Pet (surprisingly competitive!) to Least Worst Recruiter (lol).
Well, you did your job and now it’s time to advance to the next stage of highly rigorous awards-makin’: it’s time for an online vote.
Vote
Voting is open till Thursday at 5 p.m., right when our NET/WORK jobs fair starts (get tickets here). If you sign up for our newsletter via the SurveyMonkey, you’re eligible to win a $25 Amazon gift card.
All the below nominees will be invited to attend the happy hour portion of NET/WORK (a $5 value!) and that’s where we’ll announce the winners. We’re looking for a tweet-length acceptance speech, winners. The NET/WORK Awards are bigger than the Grammys and, in our book, Beyonce always beats Adele. So get ready.
