We have been doing press coverage celebrating alt creativity for over two decades and started giving the AltStar Awards to honor excellence in alt work produced in 2010. Nominees and winners are selected based on a combination of votes from the judges panel of editorial and writing staff and suggestions from fans, models, and producers. In addition to the annual star-packed event, we produce AltStar magazine.
