SMS Text News Awards – submission deadline approaching fast

Just a polite reminder. The deadline is looming for submissions to the SMS Text Awards. We’ve had hundreds of entries for the 20 categories and the deadline in next week- the 25th July.

Somehow I have a foreboding feeling a handful of us will be going blind with reading over the next couple of weeks.

  1. Best handset
