Esports Awards 2023: Voting & Nominations
With several months remaining until the Esports Awards, the nomination process has officially begun. However, unlike previous years, the nominations will exclusively be open to esports professionals rather than the wider fanbase and community.
Those working in the industry can submit their nominations starting from June 1 until July 7. The first nominees will be unveiled on July 26, while the Pro and On-Air finalists will be announced on September 20. Following the nominations, the Esports Awards panel will carefully curate a shortlist of candidates for each category, after which the voting phase will commence.
Although it remains uncertain if there will be any changes, traditionally, the public has had the opportunity to vote on candidates in most categories.
