The Competition

Welcome to Vlogfest the world’s premier global content creator competition model. We tear up the old influencer rulebook and replace standard brand deals with a high-stakes, high-adrenaline creative battleground.
We gather a curated cohort of elite international creators, drop them into a breathtaking destination, and challenge them to showcase it like never before. Driven by a massive prize pool and ultimate professional visibility, creators are motivated to produce their absolute best, most authentic work.

For Creators: The Ultimate Stage

Vlogfest is where talents meet massive exposure. This isn’t a regular sponsored gig with a rigid script, this is your creative freedom unleashed.

  • The Challenge: Compete against top international vloggers to showcase a world-class destination from your unique perspective.
  • Co-Published Reach: All Instagram Reels are posted as official Collaborations, appearing on both your feed and @thevlogfest simultaneously to instantly double your distribution.
  • The Stakes: Mobilise your global community to watch, share, and vote. Your final standing and share of the massive prize pool depend entirely on your organic audience engagement and impact.
