Nominations are officially open for Indianapolis’ Top Content Creators of 2026, IndyStar’s search for the Circle City’s favorite social media personalities. Here’s how to get in on the action:
Submit your favorite Hoosier influencers to the form below through July 24, and the IndyStar panel will narrow the nominees down to finalists. Once we introduce those finalists, the power is back in your hands. Your vote for your favorite among the pool of finalists will determine the winners.
Nominees must be based in or make content about central Indiana. There’s no category restriction here – everyone from the area’s coffee experts to fitness gurus to fashion icons are welcome – but this is a Hoosier-exclusive gig. The Alix Earles and Mr. Beasts of the world will have to settle for earning accolades elsewhere.
Once we count the votes (and check our math), we’ll announce the winners with feature stories in IndyStar. We’ll post regular updates of the top vote-getters leading up to the big reveal.
Send in your nominations below, and stay tuned as Indy’s favorite influencers duke it out for the win.
