New! Netwerk24 Smaakmaker

In partnership with Netwerk24, the DStv Content Creator Awards is looking for the next big Afrikaans content creator with the launch of the Netwerk24 Smaakmaker Toekenning. If you’re an up-and-coming creator who makes incredible digital content in Afrikaans, has a decent social following and is on the cusp of being a big star, this category is for you! Because this is an award for emerging content creators, preference will be given to nano and micro content creators with less than 80,000 followers. For this award, only one social platform will be judged – so choose wisely!
