You've seen the pleas on Twitter, you've learned how to filter through proposals, you've browsed the categories you feel strongly about, now the final thing left to do is to get all your votes in by the Friday at 11:59pm CT.

Not only does voting give you a voice in programming for the 2011 SXSW event, but it also lets SXSW staff know what topics are the most important to our community. In addition to the thumbs-up / thumbs-down votes, please be sure to leave a comment about what attracted you to the proposal or what you think can be improved. Keep in mind, it's not just a popularity contest as the SXSW Advisory Board and staff weigh in on the proposals to ensure balanced content. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the ongoing SXSW PanelPicker effort, and keep voting!
