Here’s how to vote for ‘Shadowhunters’ in the TV Scoop Awards
Shadowfam, the 2019 E! TV Scoop Awards offered one snapshot of how the Shadowhunters fandom flexed its reach during a pivotal stretch for the series. The poll window ran only from late July into early August that year, yet the energy behind each nomination told a longer story about organized fans and the awards circuit they navigated. This recap looks back at the rules, the tactics, and the lasting footprint left by those efforts.
Rules
Voting closed on August 2, 2019 at 5 pm PT. Eligible entries covered any show, episode, performance, or scene active between June 8, 2018 and July 17, 2019. All U.S.-available titles qualified, with an international exception for the global category. Best Couple required an on-screen kiss at minimum, while any fandom could land in the dedicated fandom slot. No geographic limits appeared for participants that cycle, so voters needed only an internet connection.
How you can make your vote count
At the time, fans treated each ballot like a coordinated push. Some set a daily window to submit entries, others drafted short notes to friends and family asking for one-time support. Social media lists and group chats helped spread the word, while retweets and tags kept momentum visible. The sample outreach letter circulated then read like a time capsule: it framed the vote as a way to honor the series after its 2018 cancellation and asked recipients to follow simple E! instructions. Those steps captured the urgency of the moment without altering the platform rules.
Legacy of the Shadowhunters Fandom
The show collected multiple People’s Choice and Teen Choice Awards across its run, and the MTV Fandom Awards later singled out its supporters as Best New Fandom. Those nods arrived before and after the 2019 TV Scoop window, showing that recognition stretched well past any single poll. Even after the series wrapped, fan art, convention panels, and steady online communities kept the characters in circulation and the cast in regular contact with viewers.
Other 2019 TV Scoop Award Categories
Beyond fandom and cast categories, the 2019 slate included Best Twist, Best International Show, Saddest Death, and several acting honors. Shadowhunters supporters focused on the areas where their numbers could register most clearly, yet the wider list gave context to the competition and the range of stories E! chose to spotlight that summer.
Modern Fandom Voting Practices
E! revived the TV Scoop Awards in later years, including a 2022 edition that again featured fandom categories. Platforms shifted toward newer interfaces, but the basic ask remained: log on, select favorites, and share the link. The 2019 playbook of scheduled reminders and group coordination still surfaces whenever the poll returns, even if the exact social tools have changed.
Shadowhunters Post-Series Recognition
After the finale, the series earned a 2019 GLAAD nomination for Outstanding Drama Series, one of several nods that acknowledged its handling of queer storylines. While no season four materialized, those citations and continued cast appearances at genre events kept the title in awards conversations and fan roundups long after the original network run ended.
Fan Campaigns in Retrospect
The 2018-2019 period saw coordinated drives that included billboards, banner displays, and concentrated social pushes aimed at networks and production partners. The goal was visibility, and the campaigns succeeded in keeping Shadowhunters in trade headlines even when revival talks stalled. Looking back, the efforts illustrate how organized viewers can extend a show’s shelf life in the public eye without guaranteeing a second chapter.
Years later, the 2019 TV Scoop push reads as one chapter in a broader record of fan investment. The rules and outreach tactics belonged to that specific window, yet the underlying commitment to the series and its characters continues in conversations, rewatches, and the occasional awards mention that still surfaces on red carpets and online lists.
