Bookmarks, Bizcommunity introduce People's Choice

Comments Ben Wagner, Bookmarks jury chair, “The inclusion of a people's choice vote is something that adds another layer of excitement for the awards, whilst ensuring the inclusion of the general public who are able to express their choices around the body of work represented. We believe we've chosen two highly competitive and relevant categories and are excited to see how the results shake out!”

The winner will be announced at The Bookmarks Awards which will take place in Johannesburg on 12 November 2009, so don't forget to book your tickets.
