Wednesday, August 11 marks the launch of the 2011 PanelPicker voting interface. Now is your chance to give us your opinion on which user-generated proposals are most appropriate for daytime programming at SXSW Interactive, SXSW Music and SXSW Film.

To get started, create a FREE PanelPicker account. After that, the real fun begins. Give the proposals you like a "thumbs up," give the proposals you don't like a "thumbs down," and if a particular proposal doesn't move you one way or another, just leave it blank. Each proposal will include a comment field -- so please tell the world why you voted the way you did.

Also, we strongly recommend that you make use of the search functionality at the top of the interface to more quickly find the proposals that interest you the most. Finally, please read the FAQ for answers to all PanelPicker related questions.

Please don't delay in lending your voice to this process. The 2011 PanelPicker voting interface closes at the end of the day on Friday, August 27. Look for the first round of accepted 2011 programming to be announced via the SXSW website in late September.
