What are the RØDE Creator of the Year Awards?
“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. The awards span across 22 content categories:
Adventure and Outdoors ASMR Beauty Comedy DIY and Hobbies Entertainment Review Fashion Food and Cooking Gaming Gear and Tech Reviews Gym and Fitness |
