Twelve Irish TikTok creators have been nominated in the 2025 TikTok Awards UK & Ireland, including popular figures across categories such as fashion, food, sport, books, and entertainment.
Food content creator Cassie Stokes, presenter Miriam Mullins and Jenny Claffey of the Red Room true crime podcast are among this year's nominees.
Taking place in London on Thursday, 13 November, the event will be hosted by broadcaster AJ Odudu with a live performance from British hiphop duo Rizzle Kicks.
Winners will be chosen by the TikTok community, with Irish fans invited to vote for their favorite creators through the social media platform itself. Voting closes on Wednesday 29 October and followers can watch the ceremony live in-app on the night.
