Cast Your Webby Ballot

The 13th annual Webby Awards nominees have been announced. In the "Documentary: Individual Episode" category, two of the five have previously appeared on KobreGuide.com:

• Intended Consequences (MediaStorm)
• Searching for the Snow Leopard (National Geographic)
• Kenya: Sweet Home Obama (PBS/Frontline)
• Rape in a Lawless Land (Guardian)
• Sri Lanka: A Terrorist in the Family (PBS/Frontline)

In addition to the official awards determined by industry judges, separate "People's Voice" awards will go to nominees who receive the most online votes from their fellow Web denizens: "Last year, nearly half a million votes were cast and even more comments were posted to mark the biggest turnout in Webby history. And this year we expect even more spirited participation." You have until April 30 to cast your ballot.

The three-day awards extravaganza will be held in New York, June 8-10.

SPECIAL BONUS: Must-read interview with MediaStorm's formidable founder Brian Storm, a three-time Webby winner and current nominee.
