TikTok Awards Southeast Asia 2026: Meet Thailand’s 55 nominees and vote by 26 October

A first regional stage for “The Ones Who Spark It”

In its 12 October announcement for Thailand, TikTok introduced the theme “The Ones Who Spark It”. The awards aim to recognise creators whose work encourages creativity, participation and a positive contribution to their communities, bringing established names and emerging talent onto a shared Southeast Asian stage.

The current vote is a national selection round. The highest-voted nominee in each category will become a country representative and advance to the regional competition. These are nominations, not regional wins; the Southeast Asian winners have yet to be announced.

All 55 Thai nominees across 11 categories

Thailand has five nominees in each category, covering overall creator achievement, emerging talent, specialist content, individual videos, livestreaming and TikTok Shop. Names are retained in their original published form, including Thai script, with TikTok profile links for identification.

How to vote, and when voting closes

Thailand’s country-selection vote runs from 12–26 October 2026. To take part, follow the steps in the official announcement:

1. Open the TikTok app and log in to your account.

2. Search for #TikTokAwardsSEA in the app, or open the official Thailand voting page on your phone.

3. Find the category and nominee you want to support, then tap that nominee’s Vote button.

Each user receives at least 15 votes per day to use across the categories. Multiple votes for the same nominee or category are allowed. This is a shared daily allocation per user, rather than 15 votes for every category; the announcement does not describe 15 as a maximum.

Voting closes at 23:59 on 26 October 2026, according to TikTok’s Thailand announcement. TikTok’s English-language announcement for Singapore also confirms the general voting steps and daily allocation. Country-specific representative announcement dates differ; for Thailand’s nominees, follow the schedule below.

The Thai newsroom post does not spell out additional eligibility conditions such as minimum age, account-country restrictions, ways to receive extra votes or the daily reset time. Check the rules shown in the in-app event before voting. Rules from earlier editions should not be assumed to apply.

Thailand’s representatives and the regional awards dates

The highest-voted nominee in each category will advance as Thailand’s representative. TikTok Thailand has confirmed these dates:

• 7 November 2026: Thailand’s country representatives will be announced.

• 27 November 2026: The Southeast Asian winners will be announced in Bali, Indonesia.

The Thai announcement does not provide a starting time, livestream details or the full regional judging process. Those details require further confirmation from the organiser. Winning the national vote secures a place in the regional competition; it does not itself confer a regional award.

Analysis: what the regional stage could mean for Thai creators

A shared regional event could introduce audiences to creators outside the markets they usually follow. For Thai creators, an opportunity lies in communicating across languages while keeping a distinctive voice. Clear visual storytelling, well-paced videos and subtitles that explain local context may help more viewers understand a creator’s work. A nomination alone does not guarantee income or brand partnerships.

For brands and marketers, the categories provide a useful starting point for exploring creators by subject and format. Choosing a partner still requires looking at content quality, audience relevance and fit with the product or campaign. Votes reflect community support within this event; they are not a direct measure of advertising performance.

Explore the nominees’ work before voting by the deadline, then follow Thailand’s representative announcement on 7 November and the regional results on 27 November 2026.
