There’s a new awards show in town.
Joining Hollywood’s legions of celebrations for movies, TV and music, TikTok on Monday announced its first-ever TikTok Awards in the U.S., set to take place Dec. 18 at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles.
The show will be presented under the theme “New Era, New Icons” in front of a live audience of hundreds of creators, complete with a red carpet and live performances. It will air live both on TikTok and official screaming partner Tubi and also be available on demand the next day on Tubi.
Fans will be able to vote for their favorite creators on the TikTok Awards in-app hub starting Nov. 18 and running through Dec. 5. While it’s the first TikTok celebration to take place in the U.S., the social media company hosted similar awards events in 21 countries last year, including Korea, U.K./Ireland, Brazil, Mexico, Australia and Germany.
Rival platform Instagram also recently announced its own awards program Rings, which will honor 25 of its top creators with both physical and digital rings, selected by a panel of judges that include Spike Lee, Marc Jacobs and Instagram head Adam Mosseri.
