The Streamy Awards, popularly known as the Streamys, are presented annually by the International Academy of Web Television (IAWTV)[1] to recognize excellence in the arts and science of web television production, including directing, acting, producing, and writing. The formal ceremony at which the awards are presented takes place in Los Angeles, California.[2] They are the first ever envelope-opening live streamed award show.[3]
The winners[4] of awards in 36 categories[5], including the Audience Choice and Visionary Award, were announced for the first time on March 28, 2009 at the 1st Annual Streamy Awards. Winners of the 1st Annual Streamy Awards included individual recipients (Best Male and Female Actor), and web series themselves. Each year, certain awards are presented before the main ceremony at the Streamys Craft Awards.[6]
The 2nd Annual Streamy Awards were hosted by actor/comedian Paul Scheer and streamed live online from the Orpheum Theatre (Los Angeles, California) on April 11, 2010. The production experienced technical problems as well as interruptions due to people streaking the stage and interrupting the presenters. This show incorporated an online live internet streaming broadcast.[7] [8]
The Streamy Awards were created by Executive Producers Drew Baldwin, Brady Brim-DeForest and Marc Hustvedt of Tubefilter[9] and Joshua Cohen and Jamison Tilsner of Tilzy.tv.[10]
