What is this
The Golden Twit Awards, which is free to enter, aims to celebrate the best in Twittering.
Unlike other schemes which are purely judged through online voting the Golden Twits includes a live, living and breathing jury, whose task it to ensure the winners are selected on merit although as opposed to jiggery pokery and gerrymandering.
That jury already includes:
