Competition to find the ultimate Digital Kids vlogger

Is your child a YouTube addict? Do they dream of being the next Zoella or DanTDM? I know my 7 year old Freddy would love to make a living vlogging on YouTube, he can't get enough of his favourite YouTubers tuning in everyday for their latest videos. It really is a dream job!

The dream may just become a reality for three budding young vloggers as there is an exciting competition, created by the Digital Kids Show, where entrants are in with the chance of a lifetime in their search to find the next big YouTuber. Three finalists will be reporting live as official vloggers of the Digital Kids Show bringing all the action to fans across social media.

The official vloggers will get to interview their favourite stars – from hugely popular YouTubers including AshDubh, Tomohawk, Nettyplays, Amy Lee, SmallishBeans, EthanGamerTV and LDShadowLady, as well as children’s TV favourites, Dick and Dom and Mr Bloom. They’ll also get to pick up some industry secrets on how to create an engaged YouTube channel with hints and tips from the YouTube stars.

To be in with a chance of winning, children (with the help and permission of their parent/guardian) have to create a short video to say why they want to be the ultimate Digital Kids Vlogger and who they’d love to interview.

Each winner will win VIP passes for them and their family to attend the show and a £100 gift voucher.

Videos need to be uploaded to the Digital Kids ShowYouTube Channel, by the competition closing date of 31st August. Winners will be announced on the 5th September and must be available to report live from the show on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 October 2016 at the Digital Kids Show EventCity in Manchester.

It will be a really fun project to do during the summer holidays with the kids, and who knows, it could be the first step on the path to a very lucrative future career! 

The two-day event is the first of its kind bringing to life the exciting digital world in a fun and friendly format for children, parents, teachers and those responsible for children.
