The 2011 "Fans Choice Award" will include the Top 20 web series that received the most votes in our weekly poll for the year. A survey will go online on January 1, 2012 and run until February 13 where fans can vote for their favorite indie soap of the year. The winner will be announced during the February 21 Awards ceremony.

Since 2009, the Indie Soap Awards have honored the best in original, serialized web series.  Potential nominees for the Third Annual Indie Soap Awards were accepted from the community at-large for the year of 2011 until December 18, 2011, and every series submitted received full consideration. Winners will be decided by the editors of We Love Soaps along with a panel of the nominees' peers and announced on February 21, 2012.

Directions for submitting clips of the nominees to be played during the ceremony will be distributed shortly.

Congratulations to all the nominees and the entire indie web community that continues to inspire us.
