Scottish Influencer Awards: What are they, ceremony date and venue, how to submit nominees and get tickets

Influencers are some of the most noteworthy people in modern society, so this year there will be a major red carpet event focused on these social media stars.

The Scottish Influencer Awards are the country’s first and only one of its kind. From inspirational storytellers, agenda-setting vloggers and cool content curators to pioneering podcasters, visual tastemakers, tourism ambassadors and exciting breakthrough talents, the awards honours the best of Scotland's influencers.

Organisers state: "Aiming to recognise inspirational, distinct and original storytelling, the Scottish Influencer Awards is highlighting the positive contribution many influencers are making to the appeal of brands, people and places. Is your content distinct, inspiring, original and informative? Then you could be a finalist this year. And remember, it's about quality over quantity."
