QTCinderella’s Streamer Awards 2024: How to watch, categories and nominations
Streamer AwardsQTCinderella’s Stream Awards are returning for another show in 2024, with the ceremony take placing at the end of the year for the first time. Here is everything we know so far about the event, how to vote, and where to watch it.
Starting in 2022, Twitch streamer QTCinderella has been running the Streamer Awards, quickly making it the industry standard for recognizing the biggest stars in streaming.
After a successful first two outings, the show’s third annual broadcast didn’t disappoint, and now it’s back for a second time this year, with another edition in December. The decision to shift it from the first quarter to the final quarter of the year will make it more of an ‘end of year’ celebration.
Along with the new date, the event is moving venue. The Streamer Awards will now make the Mayan Theatre its home; a smaller but more “intimate” venue that also doubles as a nightclub near the Staples Center, in LA.
How to watch the Streamer Awards 2024
The Streamer Awards 2024 will be streamed on Twitch, on December 7 at 3pm PT / 6pm ET / 11pm BST.
You can tune in on QTCinderella’s Twitch channel, which peaked at over 275,000 viewers for the last ceremony in February.
This year, there are no tickets available for the event itself, as it will be invite-only. QTCinderella explained this is due to the venue change as “space is limited.”
The previous show lasted over 3 hours, so we can expect the same or possibly even longer this time around, with the addition of new categories.
How to vote
All fans are encouraged to participate in the nomination and voting process, which can be done easily online.
Simply head over to the Streamer Awards nominations page, where you can suggest a name for each category, or skip the ones you don’t know so well. Nominations will close on November 4.
You will need to sign in with your Google account or Twitch account to cast your nominations and votes.
