NEW YORK, MAY 10, 2022 – The Shorty Awards, which honors the best content and campaigns of digital and social media by agencies, brands, and organizations, have announced this year’s winners.

“Challenging times foster innovation - and this year’s Shorty winners are proof of that fact,” said Co-Creator and Executive Producer of The Shorty Awards, Greg Galant. “These pioneers have redefined the possibilities in the digital and social space and set the bar on excellence. They point to where we are headed as a culture.”
In addition to the trademark shiny whale tale statue, top performers at the 14th Annual Shorty Awards will be among the first-ever to receive an NFT (Non-Fungible Token) Trophy.
The Shortys have partnered with the technology and innovation platform Non-Fungible Trophies to create the NFTs and guarantee their celebration in perpetuity on the blockchain.
“We love the idea of recognizing and rewarding our entrants' innovation with cutting edge technology,” Galant said. “Non-Fungible Trophies are the future.”
Traditionally, award-winning brands, agencies, and organizations are awarded just one statue for their win as a team. Non-Fungible Trophies will allow them to include and recognize every contributing member of the team for their roles in the work.
Shorty Award winners are chosen by the Real Time Academy, experts and leaders in digital and social media who have been hand-selected based on their deep industry knowledge, professional reputation and outstanding achievements, including previous Shorty wins.
