2025 Bazowie! Awards Nominations
I’m so very pleased to announce the opening of prenominations for the Bazowie Awards, presented by Zinetastic, honoring excellence in cosplay and other fandom pursuits for grown-ups. If you love science fiction, fantasy, paranormal romance, horror, comics, superheroes, anime, RPGs and other tabletop games, and the future of technology, this is the awards show for you. The Awards ceremony will be livestreamed March 22nd.
In the going on twenty years we’ve been doing this, art forms like cosplay have moved from the fringes to enjoy greater and greater popularity, as they should. And this site has gone from being just me blogging about sex robots and cute costumes and books and movies I liked … to publishing Bazowie Magazine and having more than fifty writers blogging about sex robots and cute costumes and books and movies … and, of course, this awards show. It has been a lovely experience.
Please use the forms below to nominate your favorites. If you only want to nominate in one category, that is fine. If you want to share your opinion on all of them, that works too. Our panel of judges will gather the qualified suggestions in each category. You can just put a name in and press Continue, but it is helpful if you let us know why you suggested your noms. You are welcome to ask your friends and fans and collaborators to nominate you, but it is a plus if they mention why you are awesome and links to the work always help too. You are welcome to nominate yourself. We will take into account how many prenom recommendations potential nominees receive. Shares on Twitter of who you nominated will also be considered.
You can take a peek at last year’s winners and nominees and watch the on-demand rebroadcast of last year’s Bazowie Awards show, also presented by Zinetastic and sponsored by Bad Dragon. You can also check out the winners circle issue of Bazowie! Magazine, presented by MyFreeCams.
If there is a category you feel we missed, please use our contact form to make suggestions. Please also use our contact form to inquire about sponsorships and press passes. We will post when VIP guest list and ticketing and voting opens. For now, we can’t wait to see who you nominate.
