Seiyu Awards to Accept Foreign Votes

In recognition of the growing international recognition of anime, Japan’s annual Seiyu Awards will begin accepting votes from voters outside of Japan. The Seiyu (voice actor) Awards began in 2007 to annually recognize outstanding Japanese voice actors, actresses, anime theme song vocalists, and individuals involved in the voice acting profession. From Saturday, November 29, 2008 through January 1, 2009, the Seiyu Awards homepage will offer an English language page allowing foreign voters to submit their picks for best vocalists and roles. The winners of the 3rd Annual Seiyu Awards will be announced on March 7, 2009.
