The cohort of creators span across five categories whose work will be amplified by Meta. "Redefining Community" celebrates active, niche online groups and those supporting marginalized people, while "#NoFilter Empowerment" platforms creators that are "driving honest conversations" and exhibiting vulnerability online in order to fight stigma. "On the Rise" looks at creators turning their passions into careers, and "Creative Excellence" highlights creators that are "pioneers" of trends and culture. Finally, "Future Ready" focuses on creators in the Web3 space, be it the Metaverse, augmented and virtual reality, or blockchain.
