Protagonize up for a PopVox Award!

PopVox Awards

Taunt Media’s first community project, Protagonize, has generated significant buzz in the last few months since its launch, having been featured on numerous significant technology and social media blogs and in the mainstream media. With over 1,500 registered authors on the site, an incredible amount of high-quality collaborative fiction is being produced by our members, and we hope to keep growing at a steady rate and receive more recognition around the web and in Vancouver’s technology industry.

Now, Protagonize is up for a PopVox Award, a people’s choice-type award show that is put on by New Media BC, a non-profit organization that works with BC’s digital media companies here in Vancouver and the rest of the province. You can also see the related post over on the Protagonize Blog.

Voting opened a couple of days ago and runs until 5pm PST on May 12th. You’ll need to register on the awards site, which only takes a second, and then you’ll be able to vote on our page in the submissions gallery.
