The First Annual
South Dakota Socie Awards

(so-shee, like the Emmys, Grammys, etc. Get it?)

The Socie Awards are dedicated to the brightest, best, wittiest, and most addicted users of social media in South Dakota. The only requirement to win is that you have some South Dakota connection - either live, work, or Tweet from our great state (hey, it's our first year so we are going to keep it easy).

Voting is now closed. We have some great prizes that will be awarded at a party on January 20, 5PM, at the Click Rain offices (222 S. Main Ave, Sioux Falls) and winners will be recognized across the social mediaverse, as well as through specific Argus Leader publications. We hope to see you there!
