The stage is set, the spotlight is waiting, and the buzz is palpable as the highly anticipated DStv Content Creator Awards make their grand return to celebrate the masterminds behind our favourite digital experiences.
Calling all digital trailblazers, storytellers, and trendsetters—it’s time to unleash your creativity and showcase the content that keeps audiences hooked 24/7. With entries officially open, content creators across the continent are invited to join the party and vie for recognition in a plethora of exciting categories.
From the pulse-pounding thrill of the Best Event After Movie Award to the captivating allure of the Thumb-Stopping Award, there’s a category to suit every creator’s unique style and perspective. Whether you’re a gaming guru, a culinary connoisseur, or a fashionista extraordinaire, there’s a stage waiting for you to shine.
But it’s not just about the glitz and glamour; it’s about celebrating the essence of content creation in all its forms. This year, the awards have undergone a transformation, with a focus on honouring creators as a whole rather than individual pieces of content. With categories spanning Content, Long Form, Campaigns, and Content Creator, there’s ample opportunity for creators to showcase their versatility and talent.
Mark your calendars for the main event in October, where the crème de la crème of content creators will gather in Johannesburg for a glamorous black-tie affair. But before the red carpet is rolled out, there’s plenty of excitement on the horizon, including content creator workshops, judging sessions, and the highly anticipated nominee announcement in August.
For those eager to join the fray, entries are open from May 3rd to June 21st, offering ample time to craft the perfect submission. And with public voting categories opening in August, the power lies in the hands of audiences to crown their favourites.
Reflecting on the legacy of past winners like Kefilwe Mabote and Tums The Narrator, who captured the Fashion and Style Award and the coveted DSTV Content of The Year title respectively in 2023, the bar is set high for this year’s contenders.
So, whether you’re a seasoned veteran or an emerging talent, now is the time to step into the spotlight, seize the moment, and let your creativity shine. Don’t miss your chance to be part of the digital revolution—hit that link in bio and let the journey begin.
