You have heard of the Webbies, the Oscars, the Tonys and Grammies - now we got the Streamy Awards!

by Mark Shapiro

We here at Internet Video Magazine love Internet Video contests, festivals and awards. (see Internet Video Magazine contests and festivals section)

We just found this new organization and their Streamy Awards. The nominations closed on Jan 23 so if you are not already on the list, you are too late. However, we will monitor the awards and report back to give you a progress report.

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. Every year the Academy also selects one recipient the for Web Television Pioneer Award. 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. Join us this year on March 28, 2009.

The Streamy Awards are operated by Tubefilter, Inc. and Tilzy.TV Inc. in partnership with the International Academy of Web Television, and co-hosted by NewTeeVee, Tilzy.TV and Tubefilter. Thank you to TubeMogul, Blip.tv and the New Media Minute for their support
