The 2013 Streamy Awards honored the brightest stars the online video industry. A year later, the Streamys are back, and submissions are now open across 47 different categories.
The 4th Streamys usher in a major expansion of the online video awards ceremony, as there are 12 more categories than the previous year. In order to reflect the constantly evolving nature of the online video industry, there are now 12 specific genres with their own awards, including Gaming, Pranks, and Beauty. There are now separate awards for exemplary Vine creators, brand campaigns, and web-savvy TV shows as well.
As with the previous Streamy Awards, this year’s submissions will utilize a two-pronged structure. Creators are welcome to put their own names in, while fans are welcome to nominate their favorite creators and channels in each category. The Streamys’ Blue Ribbon panel–a group composed of online video professionals–will then decide all but one of the nominees in each category, with the final spot in each category reserved for whomever receives the most fan submissions.
“YouTube’s mega-influencers are now becoming household names, and audience engagement plays a critical role in their success,” said Streamy Awards Executive Producer and Tubefilter’s very own Joshua Cohen. “Fans are a major component of the Streamys nominations process because they are part of online video’s DNA.”
