Cars.co.za Automotive Content Award

About This Category

In partnership with Cars.co.za, this award celebrates authentic South African stories about cars. This category is open to all creators, not just automotive specialists. Whether you're a lifestyle creator, comedian, foodie, travel creator, parent, musician, fashion creator or dedicated car enthusiast, this award celebrates content that puts cars at the heart of great storytelling. Whether it's a memorable road trip, your first car, school runs, buying a new car, a hilarious skit, or simply a moment that made you appreciate the role your car plays in everyday life, if there's a genuine story to tell, we want to see it. Along the way, your content should also leave viewers with a useful insight, recommendation or perspective that could help someone considering a similar vehicle. The Brief: Create and post a 30-90 second video featuring a real experience involving a car.

Your content could include: • A road trip or memorable journey. • The story of your first car. • Why your car suits your lifestyle. • A funny moment or skit filmed in a car. • Buying (or dreaming about buying) a car. • A day in your life involving your car. • Lessons you've learnt from owning or driving a car. • Advice for someone considering a similar vehicle. • What you'd buy next, and why.
