he streamer side of the 2026 XMA Creator Awards is where the strongest year-on-year storylines on the ballot are sitting this year. Presented by Fansly as the headline event of XBIZ Miami at the Goodtime Hotel in South Beach from May 11–14, the XMAs recognize the camming and live-streaming creators driving real-time adult entertainment. What follows is a look at some of the nominees worth watching: defending champions with serious year-on-year stories, first-time nominees with momentum behind them, and breakouts whose 2025 trajectories make 2026 the most interesting year to follow in some time.
Female Streamer of the Year
Sara Loverays
The defending Female Streamer of the Year from the 2025 XMA Creator Awards, Sara Loverays arrives at this year’s ceremony wrapped in industry credibility. Beyond her on-cam following, she is now an XBIZ contributor with bylines on website-building, fan perks, and balancing camming as a couple, plus a 2025 profile feature on “Tapping Her Goddess Energy.” That kind of editorial weight gives her back-to-back chances at the same trophy a real shot.
Montana Moore
Montana Moore is the strongest first-nomination buzz in this category. XBIZ ran a dedicated nomination feature on her in May 2026, and that kind of editorial spotlight on a single nominee in a crowded field is usually a sign that the industry is paying close attention to what she is building. An avid equestrian, she streams on Stripchat under Aus_Queen.
Male Streamer of the Year
Coal Daniels
The defending Male Streamer of the Year from the 2025 and 2024 XMAs, Arizona-based Coal Daniels has built one of the most cohesive personal brands on the male streamer roster. He is a broad-shouldered, bearded 6'5" bruiser who built his entire brand around an authentic western identity that stands out sharply in his category. He streams primarily on Chaturbate and has the name recognition and voter loyalty that comes with already having the trophy twice.
Brody Biggs
A Canadian-based cam model who started in construction and built one of the more recognizable male presences in the camming space from scratch, Brody Biggs brings a lean, athletic physique and is the kind of guy who looks as comfortable in a styled shoot as on cam. He won the YNOT Male Cam Star of the Year in 2021 and XBIZ Best Male Cam Model in 2023, giving him one of the stronger award track records in the category.
Trans Streamer of the Year
Lushiana Fitness
Colombian-born trans Lushiana Fitness has built one of the most decorated résumés in live streaming, spending a lot of her time on Stripchat. With 6+ nominations across the Alt Awards, AVN, Cammy Awards, and XBIZ, plus a MissXXXmas 2024 win, she's earned her place on every shortlist. What sets her apart isn't just the hardware: Lushiana has spoken openly about building her career from nothing, leaving her home country to pursue her craft, and using the platform to inspire other trans women to do the same. She credits camming itself with teaching her English, connecting her with a global audience, and giving her a sense of belonging she hadn't found anywhere else.
Tara Emory
Tara Emory is a true original. One of the first major trans adult performers to emerge in the early 2000s, she has spent over two decades building a career entirely on her own terms: writing, directing, producing, and starring in her own work, building her own sets, and crafting her own costumes. Known for her outrageous, over-the-top cosplay and a fearless commitment to creative self-expression, Tara is as much an artist as she is a performer. Her passion project, the trans sci-fi epic Up Uranus, is the stuff of legend — a retro-futuristic fever dream she constructed from scratch with almost no budget and an inexhaustible imagination. She even became the subject of a feature documentary, The End of Wonderland, which screened at IDFA and BFI Flare. Find her on Twitter and Instagram.
MILF Streamer of the Year
Therealbeverlycious
Italian-born Beverly relocated her entire life is a psychology graduate who never used her degree in a traditional sense, but found her calling on Stripchat in October 2023 and hasn't looked back. She brings a genuine warmth, sharp humor, and an infectious energy to every stream. When your biggest compliment is how you make people feel, you're doing something right. And Beverly is doing something very right.
RubyLynne
RubyLynne has built an entire ecosystem around the idea that maturity is a superpower. A full-time content creator, multi-award-nominated streamer, and host of The Granny Panty Podcast, she has spent years proving that the adult industry doesn't have an expiration date. Published in Hustler and ASN Lifestyle Magazine, featured on radio shows and podcasts across the industry, she operates with the confidence of someone who knows exactly who she is and why it works. She's a grandmother of nine from the Pacific Northwest who streams, podcasts, and advocates for mature creators with the same energy most people reserve for their twenties. In a category that celebrates experience, she's the real thing.
Cosplay Streamer of the Year
Chrissy LeBlanc
Chrissy LeBlanc didn't just build a cam career — she built a blueprint. With over a decade in the industry, 8 awards to her name, and an XBIZ Cosplay Streamer of the Year title that she's made practically synonymous with her brand, the Texas-based creator has become one of the most recognizable names in live streaming. She's cammed across virtually every major platform, co-founded her own adult site, and now consults for Eplay while mentoring the next generation of models — because apparently a decade of dominating wasn't enough, she needed to help everyone else do it too. Smart, funny, and relentlessly consistent, Chrissy LeBlanc is what longevity in this industry actually looks like.
Catjira
Catjira is considered one of the top cosplay streamers in the industry. The Las Vegas-born horror and fantasy obsessive started camming in 2015 and has spent the years since collecting awards the way she collects vintage Playboy magazines: relentlessly. Cammy Awards Cosplay Player of the Year three years running, AltPorn Best Nerd two years running, XBIZ Web Star of the Year, YNOT Best Cosplay Cam Model, and the first model ever to win both the XBIZ Cam Awards and AVN's top cosplay honors simultaneously — the hardware speaks for itself. She designs her own costumes, she rescues pitbulls, and dominates her niche. In a category full of performers, Catjira is a builder. And she's been building something genuinely impressive since day one.
Fetish Streamer of the Year
Rave Kitty
Rave Kitty is the goth rave girl next door who built a dungeon and never looked back. A tattooed, pierced, Halloween-born pro dominatrix, fantasy creator, and director, she's carved out one of the most distinct identities in fetish streaming — equal parts dark aesthetic and genuine artistry, with 188K Instagram followers and a top 1.7% creator ranking to back it up. At just 23, she's already award-winning, operating across multiple platforms under her alter ego Pearlescent, and describing her visuals as paintings rather than content. The nomination for Fetish Streamer of the Year isn't a surprise — it's an inevitability.
Mistress Dolly
Mistress Dolly isn't a newcomer to the dungeon — she's been running it for 18 years. A professional dominatrix, published author, kink educator, podcast host, and multi-platform fetish streamer, she's one of the most complete operators in the space. Her Nylon Dolly brand blends domination with fashion and fetish in a way that's entirely her own, and her "Dolly's Haus of Debauchery" podcast proves she has as much to say off-camera as on it. Four consecutive AVN Favorite Domme nominations don't happen by accident — they happen because she's built something real, something sustainable, and something that commands attention every time she goes live. The 2026 XBIZ Fetish Streamer of the Year nomination is the latest chapter in a career that has never stopped evolving.
Inked Streamer of the Year
Genna James
The standout first-look story of the category. Genna James was named a Stripchat Brand Ambassador in March 2026, just turned 30 with a celebratory new solo clip, guested on the Holly Randall Unfiltered podcast and Dustin Rybka’s Sex Party, joined the camming panel at XBIZ LA 2026, and was profiled by EMMReport in April 2026. That is one of the busiest pre-ceremony press cycles of any streamer nominee at the show.
Isabelle Goncalves
Colombian-born Isabelle Goncalves has built one of the most striking presences in live streaming — 459K Instagram followers, a Chaturbate following that keeps growing, and an XBIZ award already on her shelf. Based in Colombia and returning as a community ambassador for one of the industry's biggest Latin American creator events, she's as connected to her regional roots as she is to the global cam scene. The 2026 XBIZ XMA Inked Streamer of the Year nomination is a reflection of what her fans already know: she's not just a model, she's a brand — and it's one worth paying attention to.
Rising Streamer
Shaarebaare
Shaarebaare is exactly the kind of creator Stripchat was built for. A top-performing US-based streamer on the platform, she was part of Stripchat House Hollywood, has appeared on Holly Randall Unfiltered, and has built a loyal following through an authentic, high-energy presence and a willingness to be openly herself, and her audience shows up for it. With her signature pink hair, this 2026 XBIZ XMA nomination is a nod to what her fans already know: she's one of the most genuine personalities streaming right now.
Nerdy Nina
Nerdy Nina is exactly what her name promises — and then some. The brown-haired, freckle-faced Stripchat streamer has built her brand around the nerdy girl-next-door aesthetic, but anyone who's spent time in her room knows there's a lot more going on beneath the surface. A veteran of the Stripchat Hollywood House and a rising force on the platform, she's turned a relatable, authentic vibe into a genuinely loyal following. The 2026 XMA Rising Streamer nomination is the industry catching up to what her fans already figured out: Nerdy Nina is the real deal.
Blazerina
Blazerina was introduced to us at the Stripchat Hollywood House. Since then she's been a guest on Holly Randall Unfiltered, and doesn't shy away from a real conversation: including speaking openly about the unique challenges Black women face in the camming industry. That same honesty is what makes her streams worth showing up for (plus her doe-eyed, beautiful face doesn't hurt either).
