Jax Daily Vidcon Supports Emerging Youtube Creators
In June, during his keynote address to conclude the ninth annual VidCon, event co-founder Hank Greenunveiled the Emerging Creator Grant Program, whereby the Viacom-owned convention pledged to distribute $2,000 to emerging creators weekly over the course of one year. And now, VidCon has announced the first class of recipients of the nationwide program, which has just gone live. The 13 initial recipients were hand-selected by Green in collaboration with the VidCon production team, and the lineup features both familiar faces and nascent YouTube creators who are relatively new to the scene.
