ABOUT US
The Outstanding Creator Awards holds literary and creative arts contests four times a year.
It was founded by an author primarily for authors, largely in response to several perceived problems with similar contests. These perceived problems were a lack of thoroughness, socio-political bias, and nickel-and-diming practices. Our nominees and winners have included a 2x governor, a 2x Emmy Award-winning journalist, a Guinness World Record-holder, lawyers, MDs, PhDs, liberals, conservatives, centrists, Republicans, Democrats, activists, Hindus, Christians, atheists, CEOs & founders of companies, and respected members of the indie author community.
Our contests are also open to other creators including musicians, filmmakers, game developers, artists, inventors, and entrepreneurs! Indeed, many of our contestants are successful in more fields than one!
Have you created something incredible that the world just needs to know about?
Are you ready to become an award-winning creator?
Enter the Outstanding Creator Awards!

From the Founder

Hey there!
My name is Steven Seril, founder of Outstanding Creator Awards, affordable seasonal contests open to authors, filmmakers, artists, inventors, game developers, and musicians alike! I’m a creator and dreamer just like you, an award-winning author and championship athlete in two sports who recently got into game development and toy design. I saw a need for three things that all creators and dreamers long for: opportunities for exposure, recognition, and social proof. Why are these important? Because, as I learned from powerlifting, it’s one thing to work hard and see the results for yourself, but it’s another thing to compete in an actual contest and actually win it! It’s also another thing to be recognized for your accomplishments and to add those accomplishments to your resume. And that resume matters! Not only does it matter to you, but it should also matter to anyone you pitch yourself or your idea(s) to: agents, publishing houses, producers, studios, investors, crowdfunding supporters, employers etc. So, are you ready to be recognized as an outstanding creator? |
