Globby Awards

The Globby Awards were introduced in season 9 to award songs in their genre fields. All winning songs are only available to participate in the "Best Winning Song" category, leaving the remaining categories open for submissions.

The awards were held 2 times already and, despite the host @TeenIdle not willing to keep going with them due to heavy backlash received in the 2nd awards, it's expected to keep going annually with a different host. That was confirmed with the announcement of the 3rd awards, with @DesertWolf replacing the previous host. Some changes were made in the voting process and new categories were added gradually, in order to keep some excitement for the Awards.

1st Globby Awards (S9)
These ones started during the most controversial season of the contest, season 9, which was heavily affected by the ban on the GagaDaily forum. For these awards, @TeenIdle chose each nominee by his own criteria, to give an equal amount of nominations to every active participant. A total of 15 categories was announced and the winners were announced in different days before the final of the season, all of them on Tapatalk. Only one category was announced during the final, that was the "Best New" category, to avoid spoiling the season 9 final results.

2nd Globby Awards (S14)
For the 2nd awards, some categories were removed, some were renamed, some were split and even new were added. Also for the first time, submissions by participants were made to decide the nominees, but still the host had major power in the nominee selection after the submission process, a thing that drew a lot of controversy as many obvious nominees were absent in some of the categories.

Only entries from season 9 till season 13 were considered for this Award season.

3rd Globby Awards (S17)
Initially expected to take place somewhere at the end of 2020, but due to the delay of season 17 and the reorganization of the awards under the management of a new host, it was delayed until early 2021. In early January, during the voting phase for season 17, it was announced that the Globby Awards were going to happen on the 30th of January, with a new voting system made in two rounds and new categories. The host of these awards is was the two times Globby winner, @DesertWolf and was granted the host spot for the next ceremonies.

Entries from seasons 14 to season 17 were up for consideration for a nomination. All Stars 1 entries were not included.

4th Globby Awards (S20)
After the previous event, it was confirmed that Globbys would take place after 4 seasons of Globalvision at least, hoping that it will still be held in a span of a year. That plan had slightly been changed after the announcement of Season 20 where the amount of entries was doubled and a two phase format was introduced, making it look like two seasons held at once. With that amount of entries it became likely to host the 4th Awards right after season 20 with only 3 seasons being up for consideration for nominations.

The event was held in February 2022, less than a month after season 20 ended, and it was once again hosted by @DesertWolf. The amount of categories once again grew, this time to 27, in order to recognise diversity and the effort of bringing new sounds to the contest.
