, also known as the

History
[

]
The Streamy Awards were created by Executive Producers Drew Baldwin, Brady Brim-DeForest and Marc Hustvedt of
Tubefilter
and Joshua Cohen and Jamison Tilsner of Tilzy.tv.
[3]
[4]
The winners of awards in over 30 categories,
[5]
including the Audience Choice and Visionary Award, were announced for the first time on March 28, 2009, at the
1st Annual Streamy Awards
. Winners of the 1st Streamy Awards included individual recipients (Best Male and Female Actor), and
web series
. Each year, certain awards are presented before the main ceremony at the Streamys Craft Awards.
[6]
The
2nd Annual Streamy Awards
were hosted by actor/comedian
Paul Scheer
and streamed live online from the
Orpheum Theatre
on April 11, 2010. The production experienced technical problems and interruptions due to people streaking the stage and interrupting the presenters. This show incorporated an online live internet streaming broadcast.

[8]
Due to poor reception and execution of the show, the
International Academy of Web Television
(IAWTV) halted its partnership with Tubefilter and co-production of the award ceremony and formed their own
Web TV awards presentation
.
[9]
In 2011, Tubefilter entered a partnership with established entertainment industry awards show producer Dick Clark Productions (producers of the
American Music Awards
, among others) to co-produce the
3rd Streamy Awards
which were held in 2013 at the
Hollywood Palladium
in Los Angeles, and livestreamed across YouTube and multiple streaming networks simultaneously.
