The new roster of creators includes fast-rising stars such as two singer-songwriters who are making their mark in the local music scene; an entertainer who is sharing her love for music and beauty online; as well as a celebrity who is taking the spotlight as a chef content creator.
Also making it to the lineup are those who use their platform to share knowledge online: a professional lawyer who guides those who want to pursue a career in law; a Bicolano who is sharing his knowledge on poultry farming; and an inspiring Cebuana who shares advice on corporate life.
Completing the magic 12 are creators who share their passions and interests with their community: an avid cyclist taking audiences on a new adventure in each video; a free-spirited creative sharing beauty and grooming tips for men; a young charismatic college student-vlogger; an enthusiastic creator who is sharing fitspiration; and a maritime chief engineer sharing his life on the seas.
All winners of YouTube NextUp Manila are set to receive training from NextUp mentors and alumni, a P105,000 voucher for new production equipment, and hands-on guidance and strategic account management from the YouTube Creator and Artist Development team.
They will also participate in a 5-day creator camp where they will know the ins-and-outs of creating content and building their channels, as well as get the chance to produce their dream video projects.
