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]
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]
