TikTok has unveiled its plans for a bigger and better end-of-year awards event in 2023, revealing Neon as its new streaming partner.
Following the success of fan-favourite TikTok For You Fest, the event will be taking on a new format and name this year, with the launch of the inaugural TikTok Awards, presented by CeraVe .
Taking place on Wednesday, December 6 at Sydney’s iconic Hordern Pavilion, TikTok’s night of nights will bring together the most-watched creators, the biggest viral trends, and the most talked-about moments on TikTok from 2023. Much loved Logie-award-winning host Tony Armstrong will return for a second year at the helm, alongside media personality Abbie Chatfield and 2022 TikTok Creator of the Year Kat Clark. The evening will include special music performances, international guests and more.
