To apply to receive a silver shield, first visit the official help page of the YouTube Creator Awards Program and click ``Check eligibility now'' in the middle of the page.



A notification like the one below will be displayed, so check if the Gmail address associated with your YouTube channel is displayed, and if it is correct, select ``I have confirmed that it is correct'' and ``Proceed to the next step.'' ” Click.



You will be asked to confirm whether the YouTube channel meets the eligibility requirements for the YouTube Creator Award Program, so click 'Next'.



Enter the URL of your YouTube channel and click 'Next'.



However, the message 'The channel URL or ID you entered is invalid.' was displayed. This is because GIGAZINE's official YouTube channel had a custom URL set. What you are asked to enter here is the channel URL, which is a string of alphanumeric characters that is automatically generated when you create a YouTube account.



Check the

channel URL that is not a custom URL based on how to check the YouTube channel URL, enter it, and click 'Next'.



You will be asked to 'submit additional information', so click 'here'.



Then, the inquiry form is displayed, so write ``You have been prompted to submit additional information'' in the text box where you can write your inquiry, and click ``Next Step.''



Click 'Next step'.



Click 'Mail'.



Enter your name, channel URL, and inquiry details in the inquiry form.



'Is this an issue with a specific video?' is 'No', 'Is this request related to authentication? YouTube is not currently accepting requests for authentication. For more information about changes related to authentication, please click here. 'Please take a look.' also select 'No.' In the field ``Please attach a file if it helps explain the problem,'' I pasted a screenshot of the screen that asked me to ``submit additional information'' and clicked ``Submit.''



Your inquiry is now complete.



After that, I received an email from YouTube Creator Support in response to my inquiry, informing me that an investigation was underway. However, no additional information is submitted, and the user simply waits for more than a month to receive an email with new information. After that, you will receive the following email and the various applications have been completed. Copy the prize collection code written in the email and click on the URL of the prize collection website.



Then, the following site will be displayed, so enter the prize receipt code written in the email in the 'Enter redemption code' field and click 'redeem award'. After that, enter the YouTube channel name to be engraved on the silver shield and the shipping address to complete the application. Please note that if you enter your name and address in Japanese, an error will occur, so you must enter your name and address in English.



After completing the application, a short while later, YouTube will send a black box to the address you specified.



When you open the lid, it is under the black sponge ......



The following documents were included.



A card with the name of the staff member in charge of packaging and contact information in case the silver shield is damaged due to an accident during shipping.



And a signed message from CEO Susan Wojcicki congratulating her on reaching 100,000 subscribers.



A silver shield is stored below this.



The YouTube logo is engraved in the center of the silver shield, and the surface has a mirror finish. Silver shields with this design have been distributed since

March 2018 .



Below the logo is embossed the channel name and a message congratulating them on reaching 100,000 users.



The whole picture looks like this. When you actually hold it in your hand, you can clearly see that it is quite large. And it's quite heavy.



That's why GIGAZINE's official YouTube channel exceeded 100,000 subscribers and was able to get a silver shield.
