This year’s awards are bigger than ever, featuring an expanded range of categories to celebrate creators across diverse fields such as Entertainment Culture, Beauty, Sports, Food, and more. We’re also excited to introduce two hero categories – the Creator of the Year Award and the Breakthrough Artist of the Year Award—designed to honor the very best in the industry.”
