Stream Awards 2025: Ukrainian Edition, the leading award celebrating Ukrainian-language streamers on Twitch and YouTube, is officially back. Following a successful debut last year, the initiative’s organizers — Streams Charts and StreamAdvisor — have announced the launch of the second season of the awards. The 2025 Awards’ partners include Logitech G, Pepsi, and Lay’s.
Dates and voting process
The awards will follow this schedule:
-
January 26 – March 2, 2026: announcement of nominees and online voting
-
Early March 2026: online award ceremony. The ceremony will be streamed on the channel of Mykhailo “Olsior” Zvieriev, one of Ukraine’s most well-known esports broadcasting talents and analysts, and a host for Maincast. The exact date and additional details will be announced separately.
How to vote
To cast a vote for their favorite Ukrainian streamers, viewers need to:
-
Visit the official awards page: https://streamawards.com.ua/
-
Log in using a Twitch account (a Twitch profile is required to participate in voting)
-
Select a favorite in each category
If a preferred streamer is not listed among the nominees, viewers can add them through the Community Choice category. This category allows fans to support any Ukrainian-language streamer who has streamed at least 100 hours during the year.
Please note: each account can vote only once, and submitted votes cannot be changed.
Stream Awards 2025 nominations
In 2025, the awards expand to 14 categories, up from 10 last year. As before, nominees are automatically selected based on Streams Charts metrics, but this season introduces two new opportunities for viewers:
-
Add a favorite streamer to any category if they are not included in the shortlist
-
Nominate any Ukrainian-language streamer for Community Choice, a special category where both participants and the winner are determined solely by audience activity, without relying on statistical metrics

“Launching Stream Awards last year was a natural milestone for the development of Ukraine’s livestreaming industry. The market continues to grow: the number of unique channels and overall viewership of Ukrainian-language content across streaming platforms is increasing. In the first six months of 2025 alone, Ukrainian-language streams generated more than 172.6 million hours watched, a 3.2% increase year-over-year.
We believe Stream Awards serves as an important focal point for the industry — helping structure the market, increase its visibility, and support the growth of Ukrainian livestreaming as a mature and transparent segment of the digital economy.”
Artyom Odintsov, co-founder and CEO of Streams Charts
“Stream Awards 2025: Ukrainian Edition is more than just an award ceremony — it’s a true celebration of Ukraine’s streaming community. Our streamers are talented, creative individuals who bring emotions, inspiration, and a sense of connection to their audiences every day.
They create a unique space where everyone can find content they enjoy and feel part of a larger community. Stream Awards helps highlight their importance and recognize their contribution to the development of Ukraine’s digital culture.
This award is not only about honoring the best — it’s about supporting the entire community that is shaping the future of Ukrainian streaming. We’re proud of this movement and excited to be part of a process that opens new opportunities for talent and partnerships.”
Ievgen Skyba, CEO of StreamAdvisor
