  • What makes a nominee eligible to be included in the voting?

    Every year we receive thousands of unique nomination submissions, and as much as we’d like to, it’s simply impossible to include all of them in the voting. So here are the guidelines we look at when determining who makes the final cut.

    1. Appropriate Industry

    Nominees need to be a part of the firearms and outdoors industry and community, and ideally they should be a good fit for at least one of the categories. We know there are a lot of amazing creators out there, but they don’t all fit into the current theme and scope of the Gundies. As the event grows we hope to add more categories to include these people.

    1. Audience Size

    We want to spotlight creators of various sizes, however, there are a limited number of spots in each category, so there is a minimum requirement in audience size.

    1. Views

    Subscriber count isn’t everything. We consider recent viewership numbers, and views in relation to account size. 

    1. Commitment

    At the Gundies, we want to celebrate creators that are committed to putting out consistent, quality content, and are active members of the firearms and outdoors community.

    1. Number of Nominations

    The number of nomination submissions a creator receives from different people is a big consideration as it helps us see how active and loyal their audience & community is. 

  • Can I come to the awards ceremony?

    At this time the Gundie Awards is a Private Invite Only Event. Invitations are reserved for eligible nominees, and professionals in the firearms and outdoors industries.
