Streamer Awards 2023: Nominations, categories, livestream date, and more revealed

On January 20, 2023, Twitch streamer Blaire "QTCinderella" took to her Twitter account to announce that the Streamer Awards will be returning for the second time after the event's successful inaugural season.

Like last year, the 2023 event will be live-streamed on QTCinderella's official Twitch channel on March 11. As far as the venture is concerned, The Wiltern, a 12-story art deco building in Los Angeles, has been announced as the hosting location.

Described as the first-ever streamer-oriented awards show, the Streamer Awards is expected to push further boundaries.

Which creators are nominated for Streamer Awards 2023?

Unlike last year, which had a set of four nominees and a winner in different categories, the Streamer Awards 2023 has decided to take a different turn. For those wondering, the official website has announced that it will provide a set number of categories wherein fans can freely nominate candidates.

There are, however, certain criteria involved. For example, the streamer the viewer wishes to nominate must have streamed at least 200 hours in 2022. The website writes:

Additionally, to be nominated in specific genres of games or categories, the streamer in question should also have at least 100 hours of stream time:

What are the various categories?

Like last year, this year's Streamer Awards will follow a similar path featuring as many as 26 categories. Fans can type in their nominee of choice in the open portal on the website. Readers should note that the deadline for submitting the nominations is February 11.

Who will host the Streamer Awards 2023?

Last year, the two primary hosts for the Streamer Awards were QTCinderella, the creator, and Maya Higa, a fellow Twitch streamer. This year, the host(s) are yet to be declared. QTCinderella taking up the mantle for the second time, however, will not be surprising.

Who will attend the event?

A host of creators attended last year's event and should be no different this time. Familiar faces such as Ludwig, HasanAbi, Maya Higa, Valkyrae, and xQc should all be in attendance.

As stated earlier, the event will be live-streamed for free on QTCinderella's Twitch channel. Last year, her stream recorded a whopping 380,000 concurrent viewers. The numbers could be matched this year or even break it.

Although titles like FIFA 08 and GTA San Andreas acted as the catalyst for his love of video games, the exponential growth of the streaming community also propelled his interest in the genre. He also has a prior work experience of 2 years.

Shreyan considers factual and accurate content to be the most important as a creator and a reader. He ensures this by double checking every piece of information in his articles and sourcing it from streamers directly rather than depend on third parties. His works have caught the attention of the heavyweights, with the PR team of Sidemen (a YouTube group he’s been following since his teenage days) and Chess.com reaching out to him for sending exclusive press releases.

Shreyan would love to drop into the virtual world of FIFA/EA FC and explore it further but, he would recommend playing Red Dead Redemption 2 to gaming skeptics for its top-tier gameplay, story and characters. During his downtime, he enjoys balancing his interests in reading, watching films and sports, and of course, playing video games.
