So who gets to vote on these?  Is there any lobbying we can do?

Congratulations, Brandon! 

The Whitney Academy will be voting.  More info here:

Awards ceremony April 25th.  Best of luck to Brandon! (who, if I'm not mistaken, was one of the people who came up with the idea for the Whitneys in the first place, along with Robison Wells).
