\n\tTikTok<\/a> has unveiled the nominees for its inaugural TikTok Awards, an upcoming event scheduled to be hosted in Los Angeles on Dec. 18. <\/p>\n

\n\tMore than 70 creators have been nominated across 14 categories, including Breakthrough Artist of the Year. As the sole music category at the moment, the batch of nominees is reflective of the launchpad TikTok has provided for new artists. Among them are Alex Warren<\/a>, Katseye<\/a>, Laufey<\/a>, Ravyn Lenae<\/a>, and Sombr<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tWarren\u2019s breakthrough single \u201cOrdinary\u201d<\/a> spent 10 weeks at Number One on the Billboard Hot 100 this year. Katseye<\/a> have racked up more than 14 million followers and over 693 million likes on TikTok, where more than 240,000 videos have been set to their single \u201cGnarly.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tSombr recently made some enemies <\/a>on the app, but his music has maintained its stronghold: \u201cBack to Friends\u201d has been used in over 906,000 videos, \u201c12 to 12\u201d in 239,000 videos, and \u201cWould\u2019ve Been You\u201d in more than 259,000 videos. <\/p>\n

\n\tLaufey<\/a> has built an audience of 10 million users while sharing music and touring content. Meanwhile, Lenae has seen the rapid rise of her single \u201cLove Me Not\u201d<\/a> thanks, in part, to its inclusion in over 500,000 videos on TikTok. <\/p>\n

Voting will open from Nov. 18 through Dec. 2 for Creator of the Year, Video of the Year, Rising Star of the Year, Storyteller of the Year, Muse of the Year, and more.
