The Crunchies is an awards event sponsored by four leading review sites: GigaOm, Read/WriteWeb, VentureBeat and TechCrunch. They’ve created twenty award categories to “recognize the year’s most innovative technical, creative and business accomplishments of key companies, products and people”.

At APPLEBOX, we are what you call ‘hyper-local’, in that our online service really focuses on those within a small geographical area (i.e. around our store). So on an international scale we’re pretty much off the radar (although we recently raised some eyebrows as a showcase example at a tech blog).

Regardless, APPLEBOX is innovative in how we use technology to completely redefine the mass market offering of your local video store.

So we think we might have a remote chance of being noticed if you nominate us for the Crunchies! Nominations are open until Thursday, so just click the Crunchies circle above and enter APPLEBOX in as many categories as you like. I’d suggest consumer start-up, but there’s plenty of others and I think APPLEBOX also qualifies for the boostrapped start-up, design, international startup-up and business model categories. It’s up to you, there’s no right and wrong, and voting is anonymous.

If you do nominate us - many thanks from myself and Sarah!

UPDATE 13/12
Nominations are now closed!
