CarbonTV® Announces First Carbon Awards

MICHIGAN – CarbonTV announces the first annual Carbon Awards. Viewers can cast votes daily throughout July at CarbonTV.com for their favorite CarbonTV outdoor television shows. Carbon Awards will recognize fans’ favorite people, moments and production quality in outdoor streaming content.

Carbon Awards consists of 13 award categories including Best New Show, Best Kids Moment, Best Host and Best in Cinematography. Nominees include Backcountry Traditions, Old Green Plane, Skull Bound Chronicles, Trailing the Hunter’s Moon, Primal Instinct, Greg McHale’s Wild Yukon, Hunt Fish Explore Hawaii and Chase Nation.

Fans may enjoy viewing the videos in Carbon Awards Best Blooper category. Shows submitted their own personal favorite bloopers for consideration so they’re asking viewers to laugh and vote.

CarbonTV is partnering with the Mule Deer Foundation on the category for "Best In Education / Conservation, Presented by The Mule Deer Foundation." In an effort to celebrate conservation efforts and encourage more people to get involved the outdoors, the MDF and Carbon Awards will recognize the winner in this category together at the 2021 Western Hunting & Conservation Expo (huntexpo.com) in Salt Lake City, UT.

CarbonTV will host a live streamed awards ceremony in August to celebrate all Carbon Award winners. Follow CarbonTV’s social media channels for more information. Each winner will receive an invitation to attend an awards party next year as well as an award prize package from prestigious industry leaders. This year a smaller group of CarbonTV staff and some close industry friends will gather safely to commemorate the start of this annual event.

“We are thrilled to announce the first annual Carbon Awards,” explained CarbonTV President Julie McQueen. “And I can't think of a better way to celebrate the incredible outdoor content that streams on CarbonTV! All of our shows have something unique to offer their viewers, and this is a great way to let the fans decide who the best of the best is in each category! We look forward to expanding the Carbon Awards each year and continuing to celebrate our outdoor community!”
