Vote for the Streamys Audience Award

March 19, 2009 | David

Just because GOLD isn't eligible for a Streamy Award doesn't mean you shouldn't vote.

Okay—I’m gonna get this out there: GOLD was not eligible for the first annual Streamy Awards. To be eligible, a web series had to have at least three episodes in 2008. We had only two. So we couldn’t be nominated, and so can’t win. You’re welcome, Dr. Horrible.

What’s that? Haven’t heard of the Streamys? Well, here’s a crash course from the Streamys site:

“The Streamy Awards is co-hosted by a consortium of leading new media companies — Tilzy.TV, Tubefilter, and NewTeeVee — to recognize outstanding achievement for shows produced originally for broadband distribution.Nominations in 24 categories are reviewed by members of the International Academy of Web Television, an independent organization whose membership is comprised of leaders in the field of web television, web video and the digital entertainment industry...Each spring, the nominees, the press, industry luminaries, celebrity guests, and members of the academy, come together at the Streamy Awards in Los Angeles to celebrate and honor outstanding achievement in the space.”

The awards are next Saturday, March 28th. Some tickets are still available—a gaggle of GOLD cast and crew will be there. You should totally come, if you’ve got the scratch. At the very least, you should vote for the audience choice award. Be a part of this web TV revolution.
