QTCinderella’s Streamer Awards 2024: How to watch, categories and nominations

1 week ago 4

QTCinderella’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.”

A few people have been asking about tickets this year.
There will be no tickets available for this years show.
It will be strictly invite only.

Invites will be majority limited to nominees and presenters.

We got a new venue we are trying out and space is limited 💃💃
