Nominees compete in different categories
Former national swimmer Nguyễn Thị Ánh Viên is nominated in sport alongside creators including Vương Văn Anh and Nguyễn Vũ Minh Nhật. Võ Tấn Phát appears in the popular-video category. Đặng Thu Hà, Ngô Đức Duy and Bùi Thị Thảo Ly, known as Ciin, feature among creator-of-the-year nominees.
There are 11 categories covering areas such as fashion, food, education, lifestyle and e-commerce. These are nominations, not completed awards or a final national delegation. The report does not provide a vote table establishing current leaders.
Representatives are expected on 9 November
Under the announced process, the highest-voted creator in each category will represent Vietnam at the regional event. The representative list is expected on 9 November, ahead of the ceremony in Bali on 27 November 2026.
Voting information is available through TikTok's official in-app pages and the TikTokAwardsSEA search term. Regional content executive Angga Anugrah Putra described the awards as an opportunity to connect creators and audiences. That objective does not replace the voting results. The close of voting, announcement of representatives and regional awards remain three separate stages still to come.
