Streamer Awards 2026 Trophies Stolen From Producer’s Porch
The trophies were delivered to one of the event’s producers. They were then taken from that producer’s front porch.
QTCinderella shared the news on X on October 29. She called the situation embarrassing and asked Los Angeles locals to message her if they spot the trophies in a secondhand store or pawn shop.
She also posted a picture of what the trophies look like. The image shows the Sapphire Award that Valkyrae received in 2023.
The ceremony is still set for November 12. Winners will be revealed on that date.
Winners May Get Coffee Mugs Instead
A fan asked QTCinderella if the winners’ names were already engraved on the trophies. She said the nameplates are not attached until the night before the ceremony. All winners’ plates are shipped in on that night.
She then joked that the team may put the plates on coffee mugs for this year’s show.
