RØDE Creator of the Year
Words by Mixdown staff

Announcing the debut of an all-new competition for creatives – the RØDE Creator of the Year Awards.

Carrying on the legacy of My RØDE Reel and My RØDE Cast, the Creator of the Year Awards celebrate the next generation of content creators, sharing their work with the world and giving them the chance to win a share in US$250,000 cash and over US$100,000 in prizes.

What are the RØDE Creator of the Year Awards?

“Celebrating creators is part of our DNA”, says CEO, Damien Wilson. “For years, the My RØDE Reel competition shone light on the incredible work of filmmakers and was, in fact, the world’s largest short film competition. We did the same for podcasters with the My RØDE Cast competition, giving them a global platform to share their work. Now, with the Creator of the Year Awards, RØDE and its partners are celebrating a new generation of creators – giving back to a community that inspires the world.”
