The names of the twenty streamers chosen for StreamElements’ 2021 Creator Diversity Program were announced today by StreamElements (CDP). These streamers will receive a variety of products, as well as mentorship and support, to help them improve and increase their productivity as content creators.
This year’s CDP is aimed at streamers from underrepresented communities, “including, without limitation, Black, People of Color (PoC), Women, LGBTQ+, and Individuals with Disabilities.” StreamElements received over 3,000 applications this year, nearly six times as many as the previous year.
With so much talent to choose from, StreamElements’ CDP Manager Kacie Harold said in a statement that the 20 creators they chose represent a lot of amazing and diverse voices that are essential to the industry, and they are excited to be a part of their journey… It’s clear that programs like this fill a need, based on the many applicants and the moving stories they shared.
In 2021, the CDP will be awarded to the following twenty people:
