Developed by Australia’s first influencer talent agency, The Remarkables Group, the talent search aims to deliver a fresh new platform for brands to engage with rising digital talent while also raising new influencers’ profiles in Australia.

Winners will receive an initial 6-month contract with The Remarkables Group and $4,000 in cash to jumpstart their channel. In addition, they’ll get a scholarship with Secret Bloggers’ Business and appear at Vivid Ideas 2016.

The four finalists will also act as an ambassador for one of Rising Soci@l Star’s top-profile brand partners (Qantas, Priceline and Bonds) and a feature in Collective Hub – the magazine for game changers, thought makers, rule breakers and style makers.
