Streamer Awards Nepal 2026: How to Nominate, Vote and When the Kathmandu Show Is — JureliHub

Streamer Awards Nepal is billed by its organisers as Nepal's first awards show for streamers. It's organised by LaMa Group, the company of entrepreneur Pasang Lama, and fans pick every winner by public vote. Nominations close at 11:59 PM Nepal time on 30 November 2026, and the awards night will be held in Kathmandu in December 2026, date TBA, according to NepaliStreamers.com and the organisers' TikTok. No venue has been announced.

What is Streamer Awards Nepal?

The official site, streamerawardsnepal.com, says the awards celebrate "Nepali streamers, creators and the communities behind them", from gaming and entertainment to uploaded videos. Every winner gets a trophy. This is the first edition, which the organisers call Nepal's first streamer awards.

Fan news site NepaliStreamers.com lists 14 core categories, including Streamer of the Year, Best IRL Streamer, Best Female Streamer, Clip of the Year and YouTuber of the Year, plus 3 pending ones that run only if they get enough nominations.

Who can be nominated?

Individual streamers must be Nepali citizens or Nepali through at least one parent. The eligibility window runs from 1 November 2025 to 31 October 2026. Most streamer categories need at least 20 public streams of 30 minutes or more. YouTuber of the Year counts original uploaded videos instead.

Streamers like Claypie, who took her streams onto Kathmandu's streets this year, are the kind of creators the IRL category covers.

How nominating and voting work

  1. Nominate. Choose a category, search for a creator or add their public channel link, then sign in with Google and submit. You must be 16 or older and use one account. Keep the receipt, because a saved draft doesn't count.
  2. Shortlist. The team checks eligibility. According to the official TikTok, each category's shortlist will be the top four nominees from public nominations plus one council pick. A nomination doesn't guarantee a place on the ballot.
  3. Vote. You get one vote per category per day, and votes reset at midnight Nepal time.
  4. Awards night. Winners are revealed in Kathmandu.

The official site says polls on other websites don't count, and sponsorship can't buy an award.

When we checked on 2 November 2026, the nominate page said "Submissions are not available". It still let visitors explore categories and save a draft on their device. Check the page again before you nominate.

The voting change

The first announcement said winners would be decided 70% by public vote and 30% by the council, according to NepaliStreamers.com. The official participation rules, dated 24 October 2026, now say winners are chosen by 100% public vote and the council "has no percentage of the winner vote".

What does the council do?

The council is a group of creators. It helps set the categories and adds one nominee per category. Members can be nominated themselves, but they must sit out shortlisting in any category they're in. The council page on the official website still says introductions are "coming soon". But between 17 and 24 October 2026, the organisers revealed 13 council members, one by one, on their official TikTok, @streamerawardsnepal:

Is a streamer-run council fair?

There are fair points on both sides.

The case for it: streamers know the scene from the inside. They can spot categories fans care about and creators who might be missed. Since the change to 100% public vote, the council has no say in who wins, and the rules make members step back from categories they're nominated in.

The questions people raise: adding one nominee per category is still real influence over who reaches the ballot. Creators judging a community they compete in can look awkward, even with recusal rules. A public vote can also favour streamers with the biggest followings.

Publishing the council list and how members choose nominees would help fans judge for themselves.

Who is behind it?

Pasang Lama runs LaMa Group. On 26 September 2026 he posted "I Donated NRs 3,00,028 to Nepali Streamers (Live Reactions)" on YouTube, surprising 4K Gaming Nepal, CR7 Horaa, Jhapalish and Keema with Super Chat donations. The video had about 1 million views when we checked.
