TikTok Malaysia recently hosted its #KongsiBersama Raya Open House, a festive celebration of authentic self-expression and creativity. The event brought together creators from the TikTok community to celebrate the vibrant Raya festival in a spirit of togetherness.
The celebration began during Ramadan, with TikTok Malaysia inviting its creator community to showcase their creativity and share their best Ramadan and Raya moments through the #KongsiBersama Ramadan & Raya Moments campaign. From March 5th to 24th, creators had the opportunity to participate in six categories under the #KongsiBersama umbrella.
After a period of submissions, the top videos were selected as the grand prize winners, recognizing their exceptional creativity in capturing the spirit of Ramadan and Raya. Judged by a panel including director Kabir Bhatia and singer Nabila Razali, winners were awarded cash prizes, the new realme 12+ 5G phone, and opportunities for future involvement in TikTok’s creator programs.
Winners in various categories included @yang for #KongsiPOV, @dyamohamad90 for #KongsiCerita, @khairulaming for #KongsiSelera, @nynabukater for #KongsiFitCheck, @zarul.hafiz for #KongsiTips, and @bossjames_oe for #KongsiJer. Notably, @dyamohamad90 was selected by director Kabir Bhatia for a special opportunity to co-create and star in a short film.
TikTok Malaysia aims to provide a platform for creative self-expression, nurturing authentic and entertaining content. The #KongsiBersama campaign exemplifies this diversity of experiences and communities, fostering connections through the sharing of cultural moments and traditions, such as Raya recipes and makeup tips.
