There are two crucial criteria that any prospective nominee must meet:
- To be considered for any award category, nominated streamers must have streamed for at least 200 hours total in 2023.
- To be considered for specific award categories (like Battle Royale, Chess, etc.), nominated streamers must have streamed for at least 100 hours in that category in 2023.
Those who want to nominate online personalities who meet these requirements can do so here. Tickets are also available for purchase for fans interested in attending the festivities in person at The Streamer Awards 2024 at this link.
For those interested in watching the live broadcast, the official details are not out yet. However, if the 2023 edition is anything to go by, there will be community casting accompanying the live stream on the official Twitch handle of show creator QTCinderella.
