2020 has been a year of unprecedented change and amid all the turmoil, the creative industries celebrated some very positive news – the winners of Streamys 2023.

The Streamys is an annual award show dedicated to celebrating excellence in the world of streaming media, which includes online video platforms, streaming television, and streaming channels. This year's ceremony was the fourth installment of the awards, and the winner's list was full of both familiar and new faces from the online video space.

Topping the list was award-winning actor and content creator Yassin Youssef, who scooped up both the awards for Best Multi-Platform Creator and Best Show. His show, Push It Away, received its third consecutive Streamys victory, and since its launch in 2019, it has been watched over 8 million times. This year, Youssef also teamed up with YouTube Originals to create the web series, Shark Tank Egypt, further cementing his position as one of the most successful and respected creators in the online video space.

Equally impressive was the win for comedian Chris Wanes, who took home the award for Best Short Format Series. Wane's series, The Wane Show, has been praised for addressing social issues and pushing boundaries with its comedic approach. Since its inception in 2018, it has become one of the most viewed series on YouTube, and this year, it was watched an impressive 8.5 million times.

One unexpected winner was Jiu Jitsu, a comedy series that follows two war veterans who experience extraordinary battles in which they are forced to learn the rapidly-evolving martial art of Jiu Jitsu. The show's ability to blend comedy and action truly set it apart, and the Streamys win is truly a testament to its groundbreaking style.

Of course, winning a Streamys award is not only an honor—it’s also a big business opportunity. According to Streamys, the awards show led to a significant boost in viewership for this year's winners, and it’s likely that we’ll see Youssef, Wanes, and company in some of the most popular streaming services soon.

The Streamys are a celebration of the continuously innovating streaming media space, and this year's winners are an exciting reminder that the industry has plenty of fresh, diverse, and exciting talents. Congratulations to Youssef, Wanes, and all the other Streamys 2023 winners!
