SXSW voting extended through Labor Day

Well, you can still vote!  SXSW hasn’t shut down the voting tonight like they planned.  Here’s the official announcement.

If you still haven’t voted for your favorite proposals on the SXSW PanelPicker interface, then you are in luck. We have decided to keep the voting interface up and running through the Labor Day weekend — but the gates will absolutely close at 11:59 CST on Monday evening, September 7. Don’t forget to use the search options button and the hot list functionality (at the top left corner of the interface) to help filter through submissions.

Make sure to browse all the cool ideas that have been suggested for the SXSW Film Conference, SXSW Music Conference, and SXSW Interactive Festival. Happy Labor Day weekend of PanelPicker voting!
