Introducing TikTok Rising Voices

About the Opportunity

As an all-inclusive community that embraces all cultures and backgrounds, an important mission for TikTok is to provide a truly diverse, educational and positive experience for users. In line with this mission, we are excited to announce the launch of the Rising Voices incubator project - an initiative open to all black South African creators, which has been endorsed by the National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF), an agency of the South African Department of Arts and Culture.

Running for six weeks, Rising Voices will train, educate and support 100 black creators, selected by a committee, on how to make the best use of TikTok and create high-quality content. It will also include career-building resources and necessary digital skills training from prominent industry experts. The selected creators will be put through an intensive boot camp to learn how to create content on TikTok and master their craft, personal branding, monetising their account, and the importance of content catering to a diverse audience.

Applications for the Rising Voices project are open until 9 April 2021, via an in-app form. Applicants must complete the relevant form as well as submit a one-minute video highlighting why they want to be part of the programme and why they should be selected. To qualify, candidates must be black creators based in South Africa, over 18 years old, have at least 10 000 followers and have posted at least 12 videos in the last 60 days.
