Another year has come and gone and it is time again to reflect on all the fine internet that has flown across our computer screens throughout 2010.

Welcome to the Third Annual Urlies, where we recap the year in internet culture — from memes to videos to websites, and heck, Justin Bieber even got his very own category this year.

Before we announce our picks for the best of the web in 2010, we want you, Internet, to tell us who or what made your web surfing worthwhile this year. Who should take home the coveted golden computer? We want to know.

The polls are now open, in all 10 categories, and you can vote as many times as you’d like through Wednesday, December 15th at Midnight ET. The people’s and editors’ winners will be announced shortly thereafter. Think we overlooked a worthy nominee? This year we’ve added a new option — write-in votes. Stuff that ballot box. (But trust us, it was quite a battle at Urlesque HQ for which nominees made the final cut.)

Let’s get started. Here are the 2010 Urlies categories…

• Meme of the Year

• Celebrity Photoshop Meme of the Year
