On January 14, the TikTok Creator Awards (aka the most prestigious content creation award show of the year) took place at The Theatre Dubai, rewarding the crème de la crème of content creators from the region for their *outstanding* achievements in their respective creative fields.
Under the theme ‘Celebrating New Dreams,’ the highly anticipated event celebrated the infinite power of dreaming, emphasizing TikTok’s unwavering commitment to turning its content creators’ dreams into a reality on the social media platform.
Featuring spectacular musical performances by Middle Eastern stars Bayou and Youssef Ismail, the event was nothing short of sensational. Awarding content creators across diverse categories – from fashion, entertainment and beauty to food, music and education – not a single creator went unnoticed. Cosmo ME is super excited to introduce you to all the winners (!!)
