##### SXSW panel voting is open & It"s time to vote!

Every year, panelists submit entries to SXSW hoping theirs will be featured for the big event. Before a panel is chosen there is a Proposal Selection Process. The breakdown for the selection process is as follows **Public Votes – 30%**, **SXSW Advisory Board – 40%**, and **SXSW Staff – 30%**.

**THE COMMUNITY ACCOUNTS FOR 30%** of the final selection process! That"s a good chunk. So, it"s up to you, COMMUNITY to vote for your favorite panel…and if that panel happens to be [Kworq"s](http://kworqstg.wpengine.com/) "*Personalization and the Art of Empathy,*" then that would be just alright with us!
