This June, we announced that YouTube NextUp is back in action in India, and this time, in Delhi. The overwhelming response to the contest and the quality of entries received is a testament to the breadth of creative talent in the country. We are truly humbled by the love and enthusiasm of the YouTube creator community!
We received entries from virtually every corner of the nation, displaying a substantive cross section of some of the most popular languages and content genres in India - from regional comedy to beauty/fashion, magic tricks to sports tutorials, food to lifestyle to all things DIY. We can't wait to see what our creators will come up with next!
Winners of YouTube NextUp Delhi 2018 (in no particular order) are as follows.
Take a peek into their channel, explained in their own words:

Here, they will get a chance to perfect their camera work, lighting, sound and writing skills under the mentorship of production experts. They will also receive channel strategy consultations from Team YouTube. We will also be hosting NextUp Alumni Mumbiker Nikhil, Sejal Kumar, Cafe Marathi and Jordindian to share their stories and NextUp experience with the new batch.
And that is not all! Winners will also get some cool prizes such as a voucher worth INR 1,41,500 to be used for production gear and access to exclusive events/workshops in future.
