JAKARTA – The development of digital technology makes creative activities closer to everyday life. For a number of creators, digital platforms are now a space to channel hobbies, show talent, interact with audiences, and build a community that has similar interests
The picture is seen in the BIGO Mid-Year Gala 2026 which took place at HW Superhouse Satrio, Jakarta, on August 16, 2026. A total of 65 creators received appreciation for their achievements and contributions in developing a digital creative community in Indonesia
The event was also a moment of meeting between creators and the community. Not only enjoyed by the guests who attended in person, the excitement was also watched by audiences from various countries through live streaming
“Through the BIGO Mid-Year Gala 2026, we want to celebrate the incredible spirit and creativity that the Bigo Live community in Indonesia has. Creators have proven that livestreaming is not only a means of entertainment, but also a space to work, build communities, and establish authentic relationships with audiences in various parts of the world,” said a representative of Bigo Live Indonesia, quoted from the official statement
The development of digital platforms has also changed the way people enjoy entertainment and interact with creators. Content that was previously only enjoyed as entertainment can now become part of everyday life, ranging from music, chat, to various community-based activities
For creators, this development opens up the opportunity to explore interests and find an audience with the same interests
This is also one of the focuses in the series of BIGO Mid-Year Gala 2026 activities. Before the award ceremony took place, creators from various regions participated in an online competition for three weeks, starting from June 22 to July 20, 2026
The competition includes the Host Championship and Family Championship in regional and global categories. Participants collect points while getting support from their respective communities to compete on the leaderboard
“We at Bigo Live are committed to empowering creators through various features and opportunities that can help them develop their careers sustainably while introducing their talents to a global audience. We are proud to see the Bigo Live Indonesia community continue to grow every year and reach more audiences from various countries,” said a representative of Bigo Live Indonesia
The series of competitions then reached its peak through the Mid-Year Gala. Winners from regional to global levels receive awards based on their achievements during the competition
One of the achievements that caught the attention came from the INFERNO Family which managed to occupy the Global Top 1 Family position in the final round of the global online competition. The competition brought together participants from various countries
In addition, a number of creators, users, and agencies from Indonesia also received awards in a number of categories
Apart from awards, the event also featured various entertainment for guests. Princess Bilanova, Fadila Amalda, and Yudit Liestantia performed with their vocal skills
The atmosphere then became more lively through the appearance of DJ Angelita Putri Wafa Pradita. The presence of the event’s presenters made the award night not only an appreciation event, but also a gathering space for creators and communities
In the midst of the development of the digital creative industry, meetings like this show how digital activities can develop into a part of lifestyle. Creators not only produce content from a private space, but also have the opportunity to meet with fellow creators, build relationships, and expand the community
The BIGO Mid-Year Gala 2026 event is also supported by MRTOPUP as a Grand Partner. The presence of partners in the event is part of an effort to support various activities related to the creator and user community
Through competitions, awards, to community meetings, the digital creative ecosystem continues to grow into a space that brings together creativity, entertainment, and social interaction
The journey of a creator is not just about popularity or number of viewers. There is a process of finding interests, developing abilities, getting to know the audience, to building a community that has similar interests
BIGO Mid-Year Gala 2026 is one example of how the world of creators continues to grow and get closer to the lifestyle of digital society, while also providing appreciation to those who have helped build the creative ecosystem
