This year's Streamy Awards are right around the corner and the 2019 nominees have been announced. For those unfamiliar, the Streamy Awards aim to recognize the very best in all things related to online video creation. The award show will be streamed live on December 13th on YouTube, taking place at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.
The Streamy's are picking up in popularity with each successive event; They boast that "videos from the 2018 Streamy Awards received over 6.9MM views on YouTube. Views of the livestream increased 73% from the 2016 show, which also streamed on YouTube." This year will likely build on that trend with the undisputed rise of digital media consumption.
The "Creator of the Year" category is the main event, and nominees are mainly those who are known for their large YouTube presence, aside from Ninja (Mixer) and Loren Gray (Tik Tok). Check out the nominees from some of the most notable categories:
