The Streamer Awards 2026 announced its nominees on October 16. Hololive's Koseki Bijou and Gigi Murin were named in the Best VTuber category, alongside Ironmouse, TheBurntPeanut, and Crelly. Japanese indie game Meccha Chameleon was nominated for Stream Game of the Year next to Minecraft, Big Walk, and Fortnite. Winners are decided by 70 percent public voting and 30 percent judges' votes, with public voting open until October 31.
Public voting runs until October 31, and the split is 70 percent public, 30 percent judges. That weighting gives the Hololive pair an audience test rather than a critics' test, and both names sit in a five-person field.
The game side carries a Japanese indie entry. Meccha Chameleon, released on Steam in June 2026, was played widely enough that Twitch data cited in the announcement puts its June watch time at over 18.69 million hours, with peak concurrent viewers above 240,000. The ceremony is set for Friday, November 13 Japan time.
