We had a blast at last year’s MTV Fandom Awards and this year is promising to be just as much fun!
Petco Park will once again host the MTV Fandom Awards, alongside the MTV Fandom Fest on Thursday, July 21, beginning at 6:30 PM, with the taping of the Awards beginning at 8:00 PM, for San Diego Comic Con attendees. The show will air on Sunday, July 24, at 8:00 PM on MTV.
MTV today announced the nominees for “Fandom of the Year,” presented by JOLLY RANCHER Candy, which will feature 32 nominees going head-to-head across multiple platforms in a special social tournament spanning movies, TV dramas, TV comedies and, for the first time ever, video games.
The multiplatform, social-first approach to “Fandom of the Year” voting will charge fans from the 32 fandoms across each of the four categories to put their loyalties to the test with tournament-style voting across Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Tumblr and Twitter.

Voting is now open on Facebook with all 32 nominees. To cast a vote, fans must share their favorite nominee image. On July 13, the 16 nominees with the most shares will move on to the next voting round, which will be announced at 2:00 pm ET that day.
