It feels a little strange to say this in August, but the 2023 Streamy Awards are officially over, and they handed out a grand total of 50 awards to this year’s top creators.
This was the first year Tubefilter and dick clark productions held Streamys in the summertime, but the change of season didn’t mean everything changed: For the fourth time in a row, MrBeast took home Creator of the Year, and for the second time in a row, Kai Cenat snagged Streamer of the Year.
As for Show of the Year, that went to Michelle Khare and her daredevil series Challenge Accepted.
This year’s ceremony was hosted by MatPat, and featured dozens of presenters, including Dylan Mulvaney, Ryan Trahan, The Try Guys‘ Keith Habersberger and Zach Kornfeld, Smosh‘s Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox, TikTok NPC streamer Pinkydoll, Colin and Samir, Dream, Michelle Khare, Anna Sitar, Austin Creed, Brianna Chickenfry, Chris Olsen, Delaney Rowe, Drew Afualo, Enola Bedard, Happy Kelli, Jay Shetty, Kris Collins, Link Neal (of Rhett & Link), Lizzy McAlpine, Supercar Blondie, Tana Mongeau, xQc, yoolwxnder, and Zelina Vega.
The 2023 show marked our third year of Creator Honors, with Amelia Dimoldenberg giving a nod to Brittany Broski, Blogilates spotlighting The Korean Vegan, and Brandon Rogers awarding Vivienne Medrano (aka VivziePop, the creator of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss).
It also introduced a new category: the Rolling Stone Sound of the Year award, which recognized Meghan Trainor and her song “Made You Look” for its “unparalleled impact on content creation across social media and its resonance within popular culture.”
Also worth noting this year is The Elevate Prize GET LOUD Award for Social Good, where nonprofit Elevate Prize Foundation donated $50,000 to winner Invisible People.
Last but not least, another first for the Streamys: Before this year’s show, Colin and Samir held a creator roundtable with some 2023 winners, including Cleo Abram, Ammar Kandil of Yes Theory, Michelle Khare, Zach King, and Ryan Trahan, all of whom discussed their experiences as online video professionals.
