Meta today announced the Instagram Rings awards, which are held to recognize creative creators using the platform. They are awarded to creators who produce bold content that brings change to the platform.
Several prominent Instagram creators have been appointed to serve as judges for this year's Rings awards. Among them are MKBHD, KAWS, Marc Jacobs, Murad Osmann and Adam Mosseri. Winners will receive a ring specially designed by Grace Wales Bonner. They will also be given a gold bracelet on their account icon to show they are the winner and will be given the freedom to change the background color of their profile and their own Like icon.
The first Rings winners will be announced before the end of the year, with the awards designed to motivate users to continue creating creative work. The awards come as Meta has come under fire for promoting the use of AI in generating content for its own platform called Vibes last week,
