The 4th Annual Streamy Awards Opens Submissions TODAY

This year, the Streamy Awards are new and improved, with new categories, new streamlined entry, new nominations and a brand new voting process.

Submissions open TODAY and run through July 27.

The Streamy Awards honor excellence in online video and those who create it.

“This year has proved that online is the place to be—for both creators and audiences alike—as original online programming continues to soar to new heights,” Streamy’s Executive Producer Drew Baldwin said in a statement. “The Streamy Awards are about relevance, excellence, and diversity, which is why our new categories reflect the current state of the industry and embrace the incredible enthusiasm and engagement of the online video community.”

Fans will be able to select their desired nominee in each category.

“YouTube’s mega-influencers are now becoming household names, and they owe their success to their highly-engaged audiences,” Streamy’s Executive Producer Joshua Cohen said in a statement. “Fans are a major component of the Streamys nominations process because they are part of online video’s DNA.”
