The Crafties are back, bigger and bolder, for Year Two at CreatorFest 2027!

Last year, we launched a creator awards programme designed to trade vanity metrics for true mastery.

Hundreds of creators entered, a panel of platform insiders, brand leaders and industry experts judged 12 categories, and the winners took the stage at Magazine London.

That ethos isn’t going anywhere. Our mission is still to elevate, support, and celebrate creators and standout creative partnerships, and for 2027 we’re taking it to a whole new level:

  • Shiny new categories
  • More ways for the wider creator community to get involved 
  • Greater recognition for our winners, and more of a show…👀

More to come soon on that, but for now watch this space and join the waitlist to be the first to hear about entries, categories, and all things ceremony. 

We’d also love your input. The Crafties were built for creators after all, so tell us what you’d like to see in 2027 when you sign up to the waitlist

I look forward to seeing your entries.

Best wishes,

Craft, Impact & Leadership
