3) The VTuber Awards
Content creators known as "virtual YouTubers" portray their identities with an avatar created by computer graphics instead of their faces. To give their characters more legitimacy, VTubers typically keep their faces hidden. They tend to employ motion capture technology to replicate their natural gestures and facial expressions for the audience to see.
The VTuber Awards is a yearly affair that focuses on recognizing and celebrating said creators' contributions to the online entertainment community across platforms. It is the first award show that focuses solely on VTubers.
The ceremony has three distinct stages before the awards are given out. The first is the nomination process, wherein netizens can suggest their preferred VTuber in each category. The second is the voting process, which allows viewers to select a VTuber from each category to receive the award for that category on the show.
The third and final stage is the award ceremony itself, where VTubers will receive awards in their respective categories.
In 2023, the awards were held on December 16 and hosted by Filian, with Ironmouse winning the VTuber of the Year award. This year, fans are excited to find out if other big names such as Pekora, Gawr Gura, Nyanners, or even Filian again will contest for the title.

On the other side, for any specific categories, nominated streamers need to have at least a 100 hours in that genre. Nominations are set to close on January 19, 2024.
