RØDE CEO, Damien Wilson said:

“Celebrating creators is part of our DNA. 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.”

Alongside the major Creator of the Year Award, there’s also an Emerging Creator of the Year Award, specifically for someone who has started their channel in the last year. Each of the 22 content categories will have two awards – one judged by RØDE and the other voted for by the community. Voters also go in the running to win one of 10 RØDE prize packs.

You can enter the competition via this link, then clicking “Enter Now” and completing the registration and submission form before October 1. Creators need to select a category that best describes the content they produce, provide 1-3 links to the content that best represents their channel or account, and which RØDE product they use to create their content.

Shortlisted entrants will have community voting commence from October 15 until October 31 to select the People’s Choice Award for each category.
