DStv calls on
content creators

DStv has issued a call for entries in its Content Creator Awards, for the first time inviting African content creators from across the continent to participate.

Now in its third year, the DStv Content Creator Awards is intended to “celebrate and recognise the exceptional talent and creativity of digital content creators who are shaping the future of entertainment and storytelling”.

In 2024, the DStv Content Creator Awards has introduced a new category celebrating the best African content creators as the platform expands to the rest of Africa. The Pan-African Creator Award is designed to honour creators from various African countries who are making remarkable contributions to the digital space.
