The VTuber Awards are almost here with nominations being open giving fans the opportunity to elevate their favorite talents onto the big stage. Before voting you’ll want to be well informed so here’s everything you need to know about the VTuber Awards 2023.
VTuber culture has been growing rapidly ever since the pioneers first appeared. The likes of Kizuna AI, Kaguya Luna, and Mirai Akari paved the way for Hololive and Nijisanji to later rise and establish a new industry that fans across the world fell in love with.
Despite the prevalence of VTubers, there have been limited opportunities to celebrate them on a large scale with just a single category in The Streamer Awards being the highlight so far.
However, that changes now with the arrival of the new VTuber Awards 2023 giving the community a chance to honor the best in the business.

What are the VTuber Awards?
The VTuber Awards 2023 is an upcoming awards ceremony that will celebrate the best VTubers across a range of categories, cultures, and languages.
Following the initial announcement in June 2023, Dexerto got the opportunity to speak to Fillian and Mythic Talent CEO William Lucas. This interview revealed some exclusive information about the VTuber Awards 2023.
Filian revealed that her main goal for the VTuber Awards was to “cover a wide scope of VTubers,” making sure everyone could take part. It has since been announced that the winners of each category will be decided via three phases with phase one being nominations, phase two being voting, and phase three being the ceremony itself.
