Tik Tok, the most downloaded iPhone app in the world, has announced the 15 “Most Talented Award” winners of its first-ever talent contest “Talent ng Pilipino” in the Philippines. The winners will receive Php20,000 each and will be invited to join Filipino stars Maymay Entrata and Edward Barber, who kicked off the talent contest, at the Meet & Greet Party in Robinsons Place Manila on June 24!
Since the launch of the Audition on May 26, over 100,000 videos have been received. “Talent ng Pilipino” Audition provided young creators a platform to showcase their creativity, develop their diverse talents, and grow their fan base—and of course, to express themselves.
Introduced in the summer of 2017, the Audition has been the app’s tradition of inspiring young creators. It has been successfully held in Japan, India, Latin America, Europe, and United States for a dozen of times, with over 800,000 users participating from around the world.
“Tik Tok and the Talent ng Pilipino Audition have given me opportunities to connect to more friends with similar interests, increase my popularity, and boost my growth while inspiring others with funny and creative videos. I’m super glad to receive this award and hope to encourage other Tik Tokers to be bold and creative. Just share your talent and you will have more chances to become your star,” #sayawngpilipino category winner Sophia Zionne said.
Meanwhile, the Pilipinong Patok Awardees will be announced at the Meet & Greet Party where the winners with the top 3 most likes will get an additional Php30,000, Php20,000, and Php10,000.
Aside from the awarding and announcement of the “Talent ng Pilipino” winners, the Meet & Greet Part will also feature booths that will give creators a space to show off their talents.
“Come and enjoy the most fashionable booths and customized gifts, and meet with Tik Tok friends as well! Tik Tok will always have newer challenges, so stay tuned for more! We look forward to welcoming everyone to accept our next challenge to express their talent, enjoy and have fun,” Tik Tok invited its Filipino users.
