It’s finally time to recognize web series and the people behind them with an awards show dedicated to this thriving creative community. So today we are announcing that Tubefilter has teamed up with some of the leading web video publications, NewTeeVee and Tilzy.TV, to co-host the 1st Annual Streamy Awards.
This will be the the first awards program of it kind to recognize web series—everything from scripted comedy, drama, reality, political, hosted—and the creative talent both in front and behind the camera. And the best part, there’s no charge at all (it’s free) to be nominated. Here’s how it works.
Anyone can nominate their favorite web series, stars and creators starting today at Streamys.org in any of the 25 award categories. From the nominations, an independent non-profit organization called the International Academy of Web Television (IAWTV), will select the final nominees in each category. The most-nominated entries in each category will automatically be one of the final five nominees. There’s also an Audience Choice Awards that will go to the web series (of any format) that receives the greatest number of public votes. The winners will be announced live at the 2009 Streamy Awards Ceremony held in Los Angeles on March 28, 2009.

Inaugural sponsors for the Streamys include Blip.tv and TubeMogul, with more to be announced soon.
