The Streamer Awards is set to return for the second time in a row after Blaire "QTCinderella," the event creator, announced that the ceremony will be hosted on March 11.
For those wondering, the event will be free to watch on QTCinderella's Twitch channel in the presence of a live audience. The ceremony has been confirmed to occur at The Wiltern, a 12-story art deco building in Los Angeles.
Like last year, The Streamer Awards 2023 has a set of categories that fans can choose from. However, the nomination process has been tweaked this time around. This article provides a guide on how to vote for nominees.
Here's how to vote for The Streamer Awards 2023
The inaugural season of The Streamer Awards had 26 categories, each including four nominees. This time, however, the website has introduced a slight change.
Fans can now vote for their favorite streamers or nominate their game of choice for the categories. Unlike the previous edition, fans will not be restricted to four options. Here's an example of how the voting section looks:
Viewers can, in fact, type in the name of their own choice. There will be certain criteria that the nominees have to meet to avoid arbitrary and non-eligible candidates.
Primarily, there are two criteria that the nominee must be eligible for. First, for any streamer or creator to be nominated for these categories, they must have streamed for at least 200 hours in 2022. The website writes:
"To be considered for any award category, nominated streamers must have streamed for at least 200 hours total in 2022."
Additionally, nominees for specific game categories, such as "Best Valorant Streamer," must have played the game for at least 100 hours in 2022. Explaining the second criterion, the website notes:
"To be considered for specific award categories (like Battle Royale, Art, Chess etc.), nominated streamers must have streamed for at least 100 hours in that category in 2022."
