In December, Twitch Studios announced that auditions were open for Stream On: a live interactive game show that lets viewers discover and impact the future of up-and-coming creators by participating directly in the program.

Today, we’re excited to announce that Stream On will premiere March 8th at 3:00pm PST on Twitch.tv/Twitch, and will feature 14 Twitch Partner participants who will compete in Twitch-themed challenges to avoid elimination from the show over an 11-week period. The contestant who emerges victorious will be awarded a grand prize of $5,000 per month for a year — a total of $60,000 — to take their streaming career to the next level. The participants are:

• 88bitmusic — Known for creating completely unique, often bizarre musical experiences like being the first hotdog to play piano in space

• TheStaceyRoy — Known for being one of the original Tracer cosplayers and high production value cooking and talk shows
