Nominate your favourite British artists and performers in the London Awards 2013 - use #londonawards

We've opened voting for the London Awards 2013. To make it even more democratic this year we are asking you to vote for British artists and performers who you think should be recognised and celebrated. All votes are shown on the award pages.

You can vote for any artist or performer working either in the mainstream or in the fringe (we'll exclude those who have already achieved an international reputation).

Please tweet your vote to @LondonFestival with the hash tag #londonawards and include a link to a recent show/book/exhibition, etc. Only one vote per award please.

We'll pick up your tweet vote and put it on the appropriate award page with a link back to your twitter account.

Here is a slideshow of this year's London Awards presented at One Aldwych Hotel, Covent Garden: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pixelvixenuk/sets/72157630243795456/show/. The date and venue for next year's awards to be confirmed.
