National Creators Award 2024 India: The Government of India announced the first edition of the National Creators Award 2024 in India on February 10. Soon after the announcement, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged the creator community to take part in the awards as a symbol to celebrate "Yuva Shakti". Spearheaded by MyGov India, the awards aim to recognise talents for their contributions to the country's digital landscape.
These rewards will be distributed across over 20 categories. The categories will range from Best Storyteller Award to the Most Impactful Agri Creator and more. While we have covered the category-wise awards list in a separate news piece (link below this paragraph), this report concerns the nomination details such as eligibility criteria, last date to apply and more.

A content creator must have attained 18 years at the time of nomination, noted MyGovIndia. Out of the total, 19 categories are open "exclusively to individuals of Indian nationality", and the "International Creator Award" category "is dedicated to international creators".
