EDITOR'S COMMENT
• It is always an exciting day when we announce the shortlists for the Shortyz Awards and this year is no exception. I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who submitted any of the 390+ entries we received from across the global short-term industry, which have now been whittled down to 20 shortlists containing 113 individuals and companies showcasing excellence, innovation and best practice across our sector.
This year's shortlists are as diverse and far-reaching as ever, with representation from countries as far afield as Australia, Argentina, South Africa, Israel, Finland and the United States. It also includes the first-ever shortlist for our new Rentalpreneur Award, which will be tightly contested by six very worthy individuals educating new short-term rental hosts.
Following today's exciting shortlists announcement, you can now start voting for your favourites to win via our voting button at theshortyz.com until 23:59 BST on Sunday 16 April. All Shortyz winners for 2023 will once again be determined by a 50:50 split between judge scores and the public vote.
Now is the time to book your tickets here for our big awards night, dubbed the "Oscars of the short-term rental industry" on Wednesday 26 April at the ArcelorMittal Orbit in London - don't miss out on a fantastic evening of celebration!
