How does Gaming Video Awards 2026 work?

Stage 1: Submissions
July 1 – August 22

Are you a content creator who believes you have what it takes to win one of the Gaming Video Awards categories? During this stage, you can submit your best video (recorded video or livestream) from YouTube, Twitch, or TikTok in the category where you excel.

If you are a fan of a streamer, you can nominate them by submitting the video (YouTube, Twitch, or TikTok) that you believe best represents their work in the most appropriate category.

If you represent a brand, PR agency, or advertising agency that has developed a gaming-related campaign, you can submit the project (case study and campaign video) in the relevant campaign category.

Stage 2: Public Voting
September 10 – October 6

During this period, you can vote for your favorite content creator in the Legendary Content Creator and Short Video of the Year categories.

All other creator categories will be evaluated directly by the jury.

Campaigns submitted in the brand categories will not be subject to public voting.

Stage 3: Jury Voting
September 3 – October 6

Now it’s the jury’s turn. Based on the competition rules and judging criteria, the jurors will carefully review all submissions and decide who deserves to win.

Every entry will go through a professional evaluation process and will be judged by experts in gaming, video production, marketing, and communications.

Stage 4: Awards Gala

The Gaming Video Awards 2026 winners will be announced on October 28, 2026, during an offline event that will be announced through the event’s social media channels. The ceremony will also be streamed live on www.gamingvideoawards.ro.

Follow the event to be among the first to find out whether your favorite creator has made it through the jury’s rigorous selection process.

And even though every competition has its winners and runners-up, it’s important to remember that, at the end of the day, we all share the same passion that brings us together: gaming.
