In today's world of social media, where content is king, it takes a creative mind, authentic storytelling and high-quality content to capture and keep an audience's attention. For automotive content creators, this means producing photos and videos that are not only entertaining to watch but also educate, inspire and engage passionate enthusiasts across the automotive spectrum.
To recognize and celebrate a content creator whose exceptional dedication has enriched automotive culture during the past year, SEMA is accepting nominations for its 2025 SEMA Content Creator of the Year Award.
The SEMA Content Creator of the Year Award recognizes a content creator's significant impact in shaping a vibrant community and fostering a positive environment among automotive enthusiasts. Nominees should be individuals whose creative efforts have not only elevated the discourse around automotive passions but have also inspired a deeper appreciation for art and innovation within the industry.
If you know a content creator who has used their platform to promote positive automotive content, messaging and/or entertainment which has benefited the automotive aftermarket and automotive culture, this is your chance to help them get the recognition they deserve! Submit a nomination by Friday, August 15, at sema.org/awards.
SEMA is also accepting nominations for other prestigious SEMA Industry Awards. The SEMA Industry Awards are presented to individuals and companies that have made outstanding contributions to the automotive specialty-equipment industry during the past year. The program recognizes honorees in six different categories: Channel Partner of the Year, Content Creator of the Year, Gen-III Innovator of the Year, Manufacturer of the Year, Person of the Year and Visionary 8.
The 2025 SEMA Show festivities will shift into gear on Tuesday, November 4, with the Kickoff Breakfast, where 15 cutting-edge New Product Awards will be unveiled alongside top honors for Channel Partner of the Year and Manufacturer of the Year.
On Thursday, November 6, the Visionary 8 and SEMA's Best Engineered Vehicle of the Year winner will be announced live at SEMA Central. The momentum will continue the same day at the newly reimagined industry homecoming--SEMA Industry Honors--now staged at the iconic Fontainebleau. This red-carpet-style gathering brings together the industry's biggest names to spotlight standout achievements, including Content Creator of the Year, Gen-III Innovator of the Year and the coveted Person of the Year.
