Back in June, we announced the YouTube NextUp competition in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom, a program to help YouTube Partners advance their YouTube careers.

Today we’d like to introduce you to the UK YouTube NextUp winners: an extremely talented bunch with a passion for video making. Local winners come from big cities and small towns across the country and are from all walks of life. Their channels are just as varied - from animation to music, from comedy improv to online drawing school. The group was selected through a combination of YouTubers, our institutional partners, and the hundreds of thousands who voted and helped these stars take off!

All YouTube NextUp winners, including the eight UK winners, will be given €20,000 and promotion across the platform. They’ll also travel to London in September to attend a YouTube Creator Camp for personalised training and mentoring to build their brands and improve their content.



If you haven’t already, be sure to subscribe to the YouTube NextUp winners so you can continue to follow their paths to stardom. And keep watching for news from the YouTube Next team this summer as we unveil new surprises for you around programmes and the creators’ content all over the world.
