The Streamer Awards is an annual awards show dedicated to live streamers.[2][3] It was founded in 2022 by Twitch streamer QTCinderella to award and celebrate other streamers, primarily in the Twitch community.[4] Nominees are selected via an online vote by fans[5][6] and winners are then determined using a weighted combination of the online popular vote (70%) and panelist vote (30%).[7][8][9]
The show consists of two main segments – a red carpet show that has interviews with the nominees and internet personalities as they arrive for the show,[10] and the main award show where nominees are reviewed and winners are revealed.[11][12] At various points during the awards portion of the show there are musical performances.[13]
History
[edit]The event has been held thrice since its inaugural ceremony in March 2022.

The first edition was held on March 12, 2022, at The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles and was broadcast live on Twitch.[14][15] Event founder QTCinderella hosted the award ceremony, along with Maya Higa.[16][17]
The categories "Best Political Streamer" and "Best Sports Game Streamer" were removed during the nomination process due to a lack of votes.[18]
Streamers were interviewed on the red carpet by NymN, Slime, and JHBTeam.[19]
Winners are listed first and in boldface.[3]
