The Streamer Awards 2023: Categories, Nominees, How to Vote

The Streamer Awards is an annual event that celebrates achievements and accomplishments in the live-streaming industry. The Streamer Awards 2023 is the second edition of this streamer-oriented awards show and is hosted by Blaire aka QTCinderella and Rachell “Valkyrae” Hofstetter. The nominations for 2023 started in January when fans were asked to send in their favorite streamers for every category and on 20th February, QTCinderella announced the finalists for each category.

The Streamer Awards said, “We aim to honor individuals and groups who have not only worked hard to create great content for their viewers but, more importantly, have fostered entire communities that span the globe. To do this, we try to have a pulse on the community to showcase a diverse set of award categories that include a variety of games, types of content and communities.”

There are 26 categories in total with new awards like Souls-like, Art streamer of the year, and a hidden gem category. Currently, fans can head over to The Streamer Awards website to vote for their favorite streamers across different categories. The winners will be decided based on a combination of fan votes (70%) and the panelists’ votes (30%) “to give a voice to fans but still maintain integrity.”

Here’s everything you need to know about the Streamer Awards 2023.
