The Europas: Voting opens in the European tech awards

We have now opened voting in The Europas, the tech innovation awards honouring the best tech companies and startups across the web and mobile scene from across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. On July 9, the first Europe-wide tech awards ceremony wil be held in London for 300 people: you can get a ticket here. There is more information about the awards here.

Voting will close on Wednesday July 1 at 11.59pm. Go vote now!

You can now vote for the nominated companies and personalities from the industry. You can only vote once for one entrant, so make it count. Your vote will be counted towards nominating the five finalists in each category. You’ll notice that the lists of nominees is long, but we wanted plenty of companies and people to be recognised in this initial round. There is one category that can’t be voted on which is “Best Overall” – this will be decided upon following the public vote and consultation with The Europas Advisory Board.

Please Note: Suspicious voting patterns, use of proxies, or spamming will result in all votes from those IPs being removed. Judges decision on the winners is final. Votes will only be accepted from uk.beta.techcrunch.com. Thanks to Polldaddy for this voting mechanism.
