VTuber Awards 2023: Where to watch, livestream link, and all categories explored

VTuber Awards is an annual event recognizing and celebrating Virtual YouTubers' contributions to the online entertainment community across platforms. Virtual Youtubers are content creators who use an avatar generated by computer graphics rather than their face to represent their identity. They generally do not reveal their faces to add more credibility to their character.

VTubers generally utilize motion capture technology to mimic their real-life movements and expressions so the audience can view the same. This has recently found popularity with the Twitch audience, with VTubers like Gawr Gura accumulating over 4.4 million followers across platforms.

Read on to learn what the VTuber Awards are, where to watch them, and the categories involved in the event.
