This year No Proscenium invites you to vote for our Outstanding Achievement Audience Awards, aka ‘The Immies,’ across 14 categories of immersive and experiential categories ranging from live-streamed productions to virtual reality games and many more in between.

The 51 unique nominees have been selected by NoPro’s senior staff through a rigorous process better known as “arguing on a Discord call” with an eye towards highlighting work that sparked a sense of wonder in both our team and in that of our audience.

Ballots are LIVE.

We ask that audience members limit themselves to one ballot each — and we will be using an email verification system and rejecting suspicious ballot patterns. A ballot must have votes across at least three (3) categories to be counted. Voting ends on Feb. 11th.

Nominees are welcome, but not required or expected, to set up AMAs and voice chat sessions in our Discord, including our Stage channels beginning Jan. 31st and running through Feb. 9th. Contact us via email (pitches@noproscenium.com) if you wish to use the Discord this way for logistical support.

The results will be revealed in a live session in our Discord on February 16th at 5:30pm PST/ 8:30pm EST.
