One of the leading contenders is Kim Ji Woong of ZEROBASEONE, who secured first place earlier this year. Fans are eager to see if he can maintain his winning streak in this year’s voting.
The 2024 Position Awards will take place on the UPICK app in a tournament format. Preliminary voting will begin on December 16th and continue until December 26th. During this phase, 101 nominees will be divided into four groups, with the top two from each group advancing to the final round.
The final round will feature 12 nominees split into two groups, A and B. Voting for the finals will run from December 27th to January 6th. After the final voting concludes, the championship round will follow immediately. The ultimate winner will receive a global advertising package, which includes five ads broadcast simultaneously in South Korea, Japan, Singapore, the Philippines, and Thailand. Additionally, if the winner surpasses 20 million votes, they will receive an extra prize: an advertisement displayed on the iconic Times Square billboard in New York City.
While voting for the Best Position Awards opens on December 16th, UPICK is also hosting two other major fan-driven events: the 2024 Pick of the Year Finals and the 2024 Global Hot Character Awards Finals.
