The Vikings entries that made it to the finalist stage are Viking Quest, for Twitter Video, and Skol Skribbles, for both the Snapchat Partnership and Sports categories.

"It's a tremendous honor to be finalists in the 2018 Shorty Awards. It's also a testament to the talents of the two artists we worked with – Ian Padgham and Evan Garber," said Scott Kegley, Vikings Executive Director of Digital Media & Innovation."Viking Quest was an ambitious undertaking, trying to tell a season-long story in weekly installments. With Skol Skribbles, our social team tried to create something truly unique from a team's Snapchat account."

The Vikings are honored to be among other esteemed finalists including the NFL, WWE, Marriott Rewards, AMC Theaters, IKEA and Bloomberg. The full list of Shorty Awards nominees is **available here**.
