The International Academy of Web Television (IAWTV) is now calling for submissions for the inaugural IAWTV Awards to be presented during the 2012 International CES. The Awards will honor content creators driving today’s web television industry,
The IAWTV Awards will have 33 categories honoring web series and talent, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. Here’s a full list of categories: iawtv.org/awards/categories.
Paul Kontonis, Chairman of the Board of Directors for IAWTV, on the inaugural awards said:
“The original online video industry is booming and the IAWTV is thrilled to produce the first awards for content creators by content creators, honoring the talented community behind the screens. As we open up submissions for our inaugural awards, we welcome entries from content creators who are changing the way we watch and from independent talent to distribution platforms and major studios.”
Submissions for the first awards must be received by 11:59 pm PDT on October 31, 2011.
It is high time that we recognize online video creators. Who are your bets? I’m betting for Khan Academy as the Educational Web Series. Let me nominate that one.
