From Fandom:
Unlike other awards that rely on industry panels, The Fandom Awards are uniquely backed by real activity across Fandom’s community of more than 300 million monthly users, spotlighting the creators, characters, fandoms and moments that defined the year, with the final winners also decided by the fans themselves.
“Fandom has always been powered by the passion, knowledge and participation of fans,” said Jay Sullivan, CEO of Fandom. “The Fandom Awards are our way of celebrating that. Every category nominee reflects the behavior of fans this past year, and now the Fandom community can come together to make the final call. The result is a celebration built for fans, by fans."
