TikTok opens voting for Filipino nominees for inaugural ‘TikTok Awards Southeast Asia’

Handout photoTikTok has launched the first-ever “TikTok Awards Southeast Asia,” bringing together stars and rising content creators from across the region.

The inaugural event will have multiple phases, starting with users across Southeast Asia voting for their local country nominees in 11 categories.

Some of the categories are “Creator of the Year” and “Rising Creator of the Year,” to name a few.

The top-voted local creator will proceed to the next stage and become a country representative at the awards.

According to Angga Anugrah Purta, the General Manager of Content Operations for TikTok Southeast Asia, the “TikTok Awards Southeast Asia” aims to “give Filipino creators a regional stage where they can continue to inspire authenticity, bring joy, and spark positive impact.”
