The Shorty Awards have honored the best in social media and digital since 2009. This year, the award show has expanded to highlight content creators and influencers around the world, encapsulating internet pop culture under one digital roof.

Air Force veteran and Digital Arts & Design grad D’Juan Irvin (better known as Deejay Knight) is one of a select few being nominated this year under the “Team Internet” category for Twitch Streamer of the Year. Known for streaming games like Star Citizen, Warframe, and Temtem, D’Juan is not just an advocate of gaming, but he also inspires young people to turn science-fiction into reality by pursuing STEM as a partner and host with FIRST.

You can currently catch him planeswalking in the world of Magic: the Gathering Arena, Wizards of the Coast’s digital import of their flagship trading card game.
