The WhoTube Awards

The Whotube Awards (2018-present) is an annual awards ceremony designed to celebrate the best of Doctor Who and its community on Youtube. Viewers vote in a variety of categories: some concerning Doctor Who Youtubers (for example 'Best Whotuber' and 'Best Collab') while others concern the show itself (such as 'Best Episode of the Series' and Best New Merchandise'), with the results being revealed in an awards ceremony type video that is released at the start of the following year.

The Whotube Awards is hosted by the Whotuber DoctorBlue, who also created and organised the ceremony. Other popular Whotubers appear as guest presenters, announcing the winners of particular categories. So far, MrTARDISReviews, SL Productions, Richard Lloyd, The Doctor Who Guide, Philip Hawkins, Ace Creeper, GallifreyForever97, Who Chaser, MAR and Council of Geeks have all been guest presenters.

The Whotube Awards 2019 is the first and (so far) only instalment of the awards. It premiered on Youtube at 5pm on Wednesday 9th January 2019 and, at the time of writing, has over 2000 views. The video can be found here: https://youtu.be/REbYEee5I6c.

It is currently unknown whether The Whotube Awards will return for a 2020 edition.
