When Does Voting Close For This Year’s Hayu InstaStar Awards?

2026’s Hayu Stellar InstaStar Awards is happening this Friday – and we’re so close to tallying the votes.

Our readers have been busy voting for their favs across 12 categories for the past month, and this weekend the winners will finally be crowned.

But when is voting closing, and how do you do so if you haven’t voted already?

Here’s everything you need to know.

How do I vote in the Hayu InstaStar awards?

Voting is easy! Just click the link here and choose your favourites from each category.

You can only vote once per device, FYI, and you have to vote in every category.

When does voting close?

Voting closes this Thursday, September 3rd at 5pm on the dot.

So if you’ve been waiting to get your votes in until now, make sure you do it before the cut off point or your vote won’t be counted!

Once voting closes, the Stellar Team will then tally the votes ahead of the awards.

How do I find out who won?

The winners will be revealed on the night on our social media channels, so keep an eye on @stellarmagazine and don’t miss a thing!

The full list of winners will also be published on our website at the end of the night.
