Here’s How Youtubers in the Region can take Their Content Creation to the Next Level!
Millions of users from across the Middle East and North Africa have subscribed to the YouTube creator community in the Arab World; thanks to the rich, diverse, and original content they produce. To help YouTube find and highlight the emerging creators out there making creative and exciting videos, they’ll be running the YouTube NextUp contest for the third year in a row.
The twelve winners will get an all expenses paid trip to Dubai later this year to attend the 2018 YouTube NextUp creator camp, a week of intensive production classes and filming opportunities at a dedicated space. Last year’s NextUp took nine creators from four different countries to London for a five-day camp where they met with the region’s top creators like Laila Mourad (who has more than 1.4 million subscribers on her channel) and media professionals who mentored them on production essentials like lighting, audio, storytelling, camera, and editing techniques.
Last year’s camp left a great impact on its alumni. More than half of the winners surpassed the 100,000 subscriber mark while the other half noticed a major increase in total watch time on their channels.
In addition to attending the camp in Dubai, the winners will be receiving $2,000 voucher towards production gear, mentorship from hand-picked advanced creators including NextUp alumni, and unlock the Space at the YouTube Space Dubai and be invited to participate in future production programs from Spaces.
