EVE Creator Awards

Creative Capsuleers,

The EVE Online Community is home to an incredible range of creators who bring New Eden to life in their own ways. Through apps, podcasts, streams, videos, and written content, their work entertains and helps players, shaping how EVE is experienced far beyond the game client.

The EVE Creator Awards are a new way to recognize that impact. They are a celebration of the passion, creativity and dedication creators bring to EVE, and a way to shine a spotlight on their amazing contributions.

Annual Recognition

Creativity in EVE takes many forms, and the EVE Creator Awards are designed to reflect that. From podcasters to streamers, video creators to writers and third-party developers, creators across New Eden will be honored.

EVE Online has always been shaped by its players, and these awards exist to formally acknowledge long-term contributions, creativity, and innovation.

Going forward, the EVE Creator Awards will become an annual tradition at EVE Fanfest, celebrating those who continue to leave their mark on the universe.

How the Awards Work

Public Nominations

The EVE Creator Awards begin with capsuleers. You can nominate your favorite creators in select categories through this form. Nominations are open until mid-March, and every submission helps to highlight the creators who have made the biggest impressions over the last year.

• Written Content Creator of the Year

• Third Party App of the Year

• New Content Creator of the Year

• New Developer of the Year

Jury Review and Final Nominees

Once nominations close in mid-March, a jury selected by CCP will review all submissions. Finalists will be shortlisted for each category based on factors such as impact, creativity, quality and technical excellence.

The shortlist for each category will be announced in late March.

The Ceremony

The ceremony will celebrate the past year of community creativity, spotlighting the standout moments and projects. Through curated highlights and on-stage storytelling, we will showcase how content creators have informed, entertained, and united capsuleers across the New Eden. Each category will feature a brief retrospective of the year’s most impactful contributions before the winner is revealed, honoring not just individual excellence but the collective momentum of the creator ecosystem.

The Creator Awards ceremony will take place on 16 May, the final day of EVE Fanfest 2026, in Harpa, Reykjavik. This is a standalone, official event within Fanfest, and will be streamed live on CCPTV.

The winners in each category will receive an award designed to be proudly displayed, serving as a lasting recognition of their contribution to New Eden.
