Digital entertainment company Culture Machine, in partnership with Tubefilter and Dick Clark Productions, is all set to bring the first internationally localised version of the Streamy Awards to India. The Awards honour the best in YouTube, Facebook, online video and the creators behind it. The Awards show will be produced for audiences in India and South Asian territories, including Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bhutan.

Sameer Pitalwalla, CEO and Co-Founder, Culture Machine, said, “The prestigious Streamy Awards are a perfect fit with Culture Machine's vision of creating entertainment for the Internet generation. The South Asian market is amongst the top three Internet markets in the world, and our partnership with Tubefilter and Dick Clark Productions is a step towards providing a platform that recognises achievements for those pushing the boundaries of entertainment on the Interwebs.”

Mark Rafalowski, EVP, International Distribution, Dick Clark Productions, added here, “Our partnership with Culture Machine represents all of the elements we feel necessary for success in localising the show. Digital networks and traditional media companies recognise the Streamy Awards as a truly unique programme that bridges media consumption patterns across multiple demographics.”

“Online video and digital entertainment is indeed a global phenomenon that has brought us closer than ever before, but the world still remains a mosaic of many diverse cultures and the creative communities that surround them,” remarked Streamy Awards creator Drew Baldwin. “From the beginning, the Streamy Awards have always strived to showcase digital entertainment to broader audiences, and our partnership with Culture Machine marks an important first step in our mission to celebrate excellence in online video, no matter in what part of the world it is made,” he added.

The international partnership was announced at MIPCOM this year. Tubefilter and Dick Clark Productions will continue to pursue the development of localised versions of the Streamy Awards for additional international territories in the next year.

Created by Drew Baldwin and Joshua Cohen, the Streamy Awards honour the best in online video and the creators behind it. The annual event brings together the biggest names in YouTube and online video.

Founded in 2013 by Sameer Pitalwalla and Venkat Prasad, Culture Machine is a digital media company that creates entertainment for the Internet generation by combining cutting edge technology with great content. Culture Machine has offices and studio facilities in Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Aleph Group, Singapore.
