If you’re a newcomer and want to get noticed, these awards are the way to go. While these awards are meant to celebrate those who contribute to YouTube’s success, they are also used to reward the channels which have been around for some time and have a loyal subscriber base. These awards allow YouTube to take a closer look at what its users have to offer and reward those who surpass all expectations. With this in mind, it’s no wonder that they’re using this concept to recognize the channels doing great and trying to build an audience. It’s not a secret that YouTube has one of the most active user bases on the web and the number of videos posted daily is genuinely staggering.

They’re based on the subscriber count of a channel but are given at the sole discretion of YouTube itself. YouTube Creator Awards, also called YouTube Play Buttons or YouTube Plaques, are a group of accolades from YouTube that aim to recognize its most active channels.
