Seven weeks from today, Comic-Con International will return to San Diego. This year, MTV is taking over Petco Park across the street from the San Diego Convention Center for a celebration of its own.
MTV has announced that it is sponsoring the MTV Fan Fest and the mtvU Fandom Awards during Comic-Con International. Both events will begin on Thursday, July 24.
MTV Fan Fest will be a free party event for anyone with a Comic-Con badge with special games and activities throughout the day. MTV’s college network, mtvU is spearheading the Fandom Awards on the night of the 24th, which is being billed as “the ultimate celebration for diehard fanboys and fangirls to honor their favorite shows and movies of the past year.”
Linkin Park will headline the Fandom Awards and the highlights of the event will be broadcast on both MTV and mtvU on Sunday, July 27 at 8pm.
Nominations and voting for the mtvU Fandom Awards will be announced soon.
