There are seven categories that you can nominate your favourite influencers for, like rising stars who are just getting started or your favourite social media personality who is your go-to. You can choose as many or as little categories as you would like and even someone different for each category.
Is there someone that has really stood out to you this year? Make sure to cast your nomination so we can celebrate them at the NI Social Media Awards before nominations close.
Once we have the nominations in we will narrow it down to a top five who will then go to a public vote where you can get behind your favourites once more.
The winners will be announced at the social event of the year on Saturday October 18 in the Europa Hotel, and returning to host once again are wellness advocate, Annette Kelly of Little Penny Thoughts and media personality and podcaster, Gerry Lavz.
