The government has announced the ‘National Creators Award’ to recognise new-age influencers and creators and celebrate India’s digital creator economy.
The ‘National Creators’ Award’ aims to spotlight the diverse voices and talents that are shaping India’s growth and cultural narrative, driving positive social change, and fostering innovation and creativity in the digital sphere, said Ministry of Electronics & IT (MeitY).
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi has consistently acknowledged the transformative power and impact of the creator economy.

The award recognises exceptional creativity and innovation across more than 20 categories, including storytelling, social change advocacy, environmental sustainability, education, gaming, and more.
The ‘Disruptor of the Year’ award recognises a creator who has challenged the status quo, bringing about significant change or innovation in their field.

The 'International Creator Award’ honours creators based abroad who are helping augment India’s culture and soft power.

The selection process includes a nomination phase, screening of the nominations, followed by a combination of public voting and review of a jury. Winners will be announced based on a combination of jury and public votes.
“The National Creators Award aims to inspire, recognize and celebrate the transformative potential of digital media in building a more inclusive, participatory, and empowered society,” said the ministry.
