That's right - we're launching an all-new end-of-year awards show: The TikTok Awards, presented by CeraVe. It's all going down on Wednesday, 6 December at Sydney's iconic Hordern Pavilion, bringing together the most-loved creators, the biggest viral trends, and the most talked about moments from 2023. The TikTok Awards will also be streamed LIVE on @tiktok_australia from 7pm AEDT, and available to stream on BINGE from Sunday 10 December 2023 AEDT.
This year, fan-favourite media personality Abbie Chatfield, and 2022 Creator of the Year and TikTok sensation, Kat Clark, will join much loved Logie-award-winning TV host Tony Armstrong as hosts for the evening. There'll be 10 awards presented on the night - meaning even more creators that you know and love will be joining the party. From the comedy creators who have had us laughing all year long, to the music acts that lived rent-free in our minds, we're excited to be celebrating even more incredible creators as part of this year's TikTok Awards!
Host of BINGE Original FBoy Island, Abbie Chatfield, said: "I can't wait for the inaugural TikTok Awards! I love that TikTok is a platform that celebrates so many different niches and encourages creativity. It's going to be an amazing night of music, dancing, comedy, and so much more, so you'll have to tune in to find out what tricks we have up our sleeve!"
2022 TikTok Creator of the Year, Kat Clark, said: "Taking out the top award last year was such a massive privilege, and has really supercharged my career both on and off-TikTok. I couldn't be more thrilled to be returning for this year's Awards to join Abbie & Tony to host the night!"
Fans will be able to vote for their favourite creators and videos via the TikTok app, with the winners to be crowned on the night. Voting opens today, Wednesday, 1 November, and will continue until 1 December - visit the TikTok Awards hub in-app for more information (access the hub via the TikTok app for the best voting experience).
