MTV today announced the nominees for the 2016 "Fandom Awards," including two new categories "Bandom of the Year" and "Animation Fandom of the Year." The award show honors the fans whose tenacious excitement pushes movies, TV, music, theater and video games from subculture to mainstream worldwide success. Voting begins today at fandomawards.mtv.com and will continue until Wednesday, July 20th, 2016.

On Thursday, July 21 all Comic-Con badge holders are welcomed to join the "MTV Fandom Fest" party at Petco Park, featuring food, drinks, games and giveaways beginning at 6:30 p.m. PT and leading into the 8:00 p.m. PT taping of the "Fandom Awards." The show will air on Sunday, July 24 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

Nominees for "Fandom of the Year," presented by JOLLY RANCHER Candy, 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 nominees for "Ship of the Year," will be voted on exclusively on Tumblr. Nominees in both categories will be announced on Friday, July 8.
