The Market Data Oscars: Voting Now Open

Fancy yourself the Daniel Day-Lewis of data? The Anne Hathaway of analytics? Or maybe the Martin Scorcese of market data, or the Robert De Niro of reference data? It's almost time to present the annual Inside Market Data and Inside Reference Data Awards to the companies and individuals that represent the best actors and directors of the financial data industry.

Voting in our online poll to identify the best data providers, deals and new products over the past 12 months is already underway on our awards website, so cast your votes now -- and don't forget to nominate your suggestion for this year's entry into the Inside Market Data Hall of Fame.

You can also nominate yourself -- or your customers, partners or suppliers, for that matter -- in our call-for-entry awards for individuals, teams and projects, both for data providers and end-user firms

In addition, this year we introduce a new award-the "Above and Beyond Award," which recognizes individuals or companies that put their expertise to broader use for the greater good. All the call-for-entry categories will be decided by a panel of judges from the industry.

So get voting and nominating, to make sure you and your colleagues get the recognition you deserve. But hurry -- voting closes April 5!
