It's time for the 2012 edition of Westword's Denver Web Awards, our annual celebration of Denver's greatest digital minds. This time, we're introducing new categories to recognize the area's creative and forward-thinking app developers, but we've made sure to include a few favorites, like Best Shameless Self-Promoter and Most Viral Video. But the best part? You help nominate the winners. Skip ahead to vote in our Denver Web Awards poll now, or read below for more details about this year's party and awards.

This year, we have forty-six categories in News/Community, Music, Food & Drink and the Arts. You can nominate as many potential winners as you'd like -- as many times as you'd like. The theme of this year's celebration is #Instafun, based both on the popular photo app and what we'd like you to get out of the experience.

The winners will be announced at a semi-private party on Thursday, November 15 at RedLine via a multimedia awards ceremony. It's an opportunity to meet like-minded people in real life (or IRL), talk about memes until they are not funny any longer, take Instagram photos of your friends and see the faces behind the best of Denver's online community and your favorite mobile applications.

Check back here in the coming weeks for an announcement of our musical guests and entertainment plans as they develop.
