Røde has announce the Røde Creator of the Year Awards – an all-new competition for creatives.
Following the Australian company’s My Røde Reel and My Røde Cast, the Røde Creator of the Year Awards look toward the next generation of content creators, sharing their work and offerinf the chance to win a share in US$250,000 cash and more than US$100,000 in prizes.
‘Celebrating creators is part of our DNA’, says Røde CEO, Damien Wilson. ‘For years, the My Røde Reel competition shone light on the incredible work of filmmakers and was, in fact, the world’s largest short film competition. We did the same for podcasters with the My Røde Cast competition, giving them a global platform to share their work. Now, with the Røde Creator of the Year Awards, Røde and its partners are celebrating a new generation of creators, giving back to a community that inspires the world.’
The Røde Creator of the Year Awards recognises a diverse range of creators across YouTube, Instagram and TikTok – anyone using a Røde product with a channel or account on one of these platforms is eligible to enter.
Alongside the major Creator of the Year Award, there is also an Emerging Creator of the Year Award to highlight the efforts of up-and-coming content creators – specifically, those that have started their channel in the last year.
