Recognition & Visibility
ContEnt Awards
The ContEnt Awards recognize exceptional quality in independent digital content. The number of followers and social awareness don't matter. While there is certainly no penalty for being well known, we want to reward the best creative talent, even if most of the world hasn't discovered you yet.
All finalists will receive a special designation in the ContEnt Creative Directory, helping to increase their exposure to potential buyers, sponsors, and creative partners.
