Founded by We Love Soaps LLC's Roger Newcomb in 2009, the Indie Series Awards celebrate the best in independently produced entertainment created for the Web. Now in it's 13th year, the Indie Series Awards is the largest international awards gala for independent digital series producers!
Held annually in April, The Indie Series Awards, also known as the ISAs, honor a genre that emphasizes artistic merit and social impact over corporate profits, however, the overall quality of the nominated shows is comparable to that of most TV sitcom or dramas—in fact, several past winners went on to partner with traditional television content providers.
Past nominated series represent the highest level of achievement in the genre--groundbreaking programs, created by entertainment industry professionals (many of them celebrities), that have been viewed over 300 million times.
Notable winners over the years include Emma Thompson, Billy Dee Williams, Robert Townsend, Lou Diamond Phillips, Judd Hirsch, Richard Hatch, Joan Van Ark, Keith Powell, A. Martinez, Sean Kanan, Cady Huffman, Jim Rash, Michele Lee, Charlene Tilton, Patrika Darbo, Carolyn Hennesy, J. August Richards, Wesley Taylor, Frankie Grande, and many more!
The 13th Annual Indie Series Awards has 32 CATEGORIES including those introduced last year (Best Audio Fiction Series, Best Audio Fiction Actor, Best Audio Fiction Actress, Best Audio Fiction Ensemble, Best Audio Fiction Writing, Best International Series and the Spotlight Award) plus long standing categories that honor the entire cast and crew of the series!
