The Streamer Awards is an annual awards show dedicated to live streamers. [1] [2] It was founded in 2022 by Twitch streamer QTCinderella to award and celebrate other streamers, primarily in the Twitch community. [3] Nominees are selected via an online vote by fans [4] [5] and winners are then determined using a weighted combination of the online popular vote (70%) and panelist vote (30%). [6] [7] [8]

Contents

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, [9] and the main award show where nominees are reviewed and winners are revealed. [10] [11] At various points during the awards portion of the show there are musical performances. [12]

The trophy presented to award winners depicts a Peepo, a variation of Pepe the Frog. [13]
