Over 1500 entries were received making the selection process quite the task for judges.
After watching hours of creative, hilarious, heartfelt and thumb stopping content, the nominations for the first-of-its kind awards were announced on Sunday at The Hallmark House in Johannesburg.
Content creators, brands, agencies and awards' partners came out in their numbers to find out who made the nominees’ list.
The event was hosted by award-winning digital content creator Paballo Kgware.
The categories for the awards are diverse and touch on most aspects of content creating, motoring, alter ego and even social commentary.
