Are you a vlogger who wants to improve your storytelling and production skills? YouTube launches in the Philippines its NextUp competition to help creators take their channels to the next level.
Since its launch in 2011, NextUp has helped over 500 creators in more than 13 countries by giving them skills, mentorship, and a network to help them create compelling content. This year, NextUp is putting up a week-long creator camp at the YouTube Pop-up Space Manila from Sept. 7 to 12, during which YouTube creators will learn production techniques from NextUp alumni and work closely with top YouTube creators.
“We’re bringing NextUp to the Philippines to support Filipino creators, who are among the most creative and inspiring in the world. We want to help them bring their YouTube careers to the next level by exposing them to meaningful learning experiences,” said Gabby Roxas, Google Philippines country marketing manager.
He added, “We are also giving Filipino creators the opportunity to inspire and learn from other creators around the world who share their passion for creating great online content.”
To enter the contest, go to youtube.com/nextup and fill out the application form. To be eligible for NextUp Manila, your channel must be in good standing with 10,000 to 100,000 subscribers. The channels will also be selected on the basis of their potential for improvement, capacity for attracting the audience, and alignment with YouTube’s core values. Deadline for submission is on Aug. 3.
On top of joining the week-long creator camp, those who will be selected to join NextUp Manila’s class of 2018 will receive ongoing strategic account management by the YouTube Creator and Artist Development team, US$1,000 production voucher, and mentorship by alumni/top creators.
