As award season approaches, Austin Television Festival has decided to host their very own fan nominated and fan voted awards this year! The very first “Best In Shows” Awards launched today with two categories now open for nominations on Twitter.
The 10 categories range from funny to the semi-serious, but the awards aim to recognize all the best TV moments viewers have enjoyed (so far) in 2019.

Now that we know the amazing categories, lets get down to the nominating and voting! Nominations will take place on the ATX TV Festival Twitter page ONLY. From September 10-14 two categories will be opened each day for 24 hours via tweet. Once they are open, simply reply to the category tweet with your nomination(s) using #BestInShows. Both “The Wig is Right” Award and “The I Bet That Hurt” Award categories launched today, Sept 10 with the below tweets.
Nominations are now open for our first #BestInShows category… THE WIG IS RIGHT!
How It Works:
