The voting period for the RAWR Awards, LionhearTV’s first-ever awards night, has been extended to December 4. The extension was made to give the fans and supporters a few more days to cast their votes for their favorite artists, personalities, and bets.
“We originally wanted to have it from November 1 to November 30 only but after seeing how engaged and excited the fans are, even since day 1, we decided, as a team, to give them a few more days to vote. We expect this to be even more exciting for everyone because several of the nominees are neck-to-neck,” said Richard Paglicawan, Owner and Founder of LionhearTV.
LionhearTV’s RAWR Awards is patterned similarly after the Oscars with categories such as Male and Female Celebrities of the Year, but also includes special categories (dubbed Cub Awards) such as Viral Video of the Year, and Fan Club of the Year.
All entries of the categories were nominated by the fans, and all the winners of the awards night are also completely determined by them. Fans are allowed to vote 3 times per category per day at rawrawards.lionheartv.net.
As of November 28, most of the nominees have a very close fight for first place. For the Lion Awards, the leading Male Celebrity of the Year is Daniel Padilla (17.4% of the votes) with James Reid (16.4%) and Alden Richards (16%) as a close second and third.
