Lit Webseries Awards

Therefore, there has been no LIW awards in 2018, and most likely no LIW awards in 2019.

Which is still the case to be honest. I am at a stage where I don’t even know what is going on in the LIW universe, as you don’t see me on social media anymore, which sadden me very much as I built strong links with many of you. But that is how it is.

By the time I realized that I should have done it my own way, the way I had done for 3 years, it was June. I was then facing some mental health issues and juggling with 2 jobs, having no time for anything else that work and sleep (and cry).

For 2), I ended up having only 1 web series which aired in 2017 with a budget > 5,000 €. So it didn’t make any sense to have two type of awards. I had tried to please everybody, did a lot of work to end up in the same place than 3 months earlier.

My conclusion was that making the voter name whoever they wanted, as I did in 2015, 2016 and 2017, is actually a better and manageable way to do the LIW awards.

So I went to contact every LIW creator of a LIW which aired in 2017. It took me 2 to 3 months to get answers from all of them. For 1) I ended up with a giant list of names for each category, which would have been impossible for any voter to go through, while voting.

.because it was a low budget webseries with a small audience. Although Low-budget webseries got awards in the past, and big giant high budget webseries didn’t get awards in the past. There are plenty of examples. But they wanted to have two categories to have more chances to win.

2) LIW creators questioned about the awards wanted to have different type of awards, one for LIWs with small budgets and one for webseries with bigger budgets. 5,000€ was the limit that was decided. Their argument was that smaller webseries could never get an award, because...

1) Instead of asking the voters to name an actor/director… for a category, they wanted each LIWcreators to name the person they wanted to present for each award. I needed to contact every single LIWcreator, and ask to name a person for each category (actor.ress, transmedia, etc

I questioned a few of LIW creators about the awards, as I had noticed criticism in the past and I wanted to make sure they were happy with the way it was done. Suggestions I got was:

Why the LIW awards 2018 didn’t happen? Last year, I started preparing everything for the LIW 2018, very motivated to get this done early in the year.

Hi guys, sorry I haven’t been very active lately and I know that the @LIWAwards haven’t happened yet, and it’s April (although it feels more like February...). Life has been busy since the beginning of the year and complicated. My mental needs a rest for a while. But I’ll be back
