We know the time, we know the place, and finally we know the nominees! “What is he talking about?” you’re probably saying to yourself right now. Unless you are psychic or read the headline for this article, you will be surprised to learn that I am talking about the 2014 Streamy Awards which honor the best creators in online video. An announcement this morning confirms that the time and place for the 2014 Streamys has been set and the nomination process has closed, so we have our nominees.
This year’s Streamy Awards will be held Sunday, September 7 at the Beverly Hilton. The awards and the official live stream will both kick off at 7:30 p.m. PST. As usual, the winners will be selected by a panel of experts that includes online video creators and industry professionals. However, this marks the first year that fans will play a role. This year, the nomination process included fan submissions, and the fan submission with the most votes in each category was automatically qualified as a nominee. It’s a nod to the important role that fans have played in the explosive growth of the online video industry.
This year, the Streamys changed the game, adding a whole raft of new categories to keep up with the latest trends. This also marks the first year that the Awards will honor the best gamers and beauty gurus, proving that organizers have their finger on the pulse of what’s hot in online video. New award categories have also been created to single out the stars of Vine, the six-second video app whose popularity has exploded over the last 12 months.
This year’s list of nominees includes all of our YouTube favorites from PewDiePie and Zoella to SMOSH and O2L, as well as TV crossovers like Pentatonix, Lindsey Stirling and Jimmy Kimmel. Check out a full list of nominees below and then tune in on September 7 to see who will take home the prize.
