Zigazoo, a social media platform for children and teens, has announced a partnership with VidCon that will send three young creators to VidCon Anaheim 2026 as official Junior Correspondents, giving them on-site access to the annual Creator Economy convention taking place June 25-27 at the Anaheim Convention Center.

The contest, which runs inside the VidCon channel on the Zigazoo app, asks participants to respond to creative prompts. A panel of Zigazoo judges will evaluate submissions based on creativity, likes, and views. Winners will be announced on or after June 5 via in-app livestream.

Zigazoo creator Stella, who has a combined social following of more than eight million, is hosting the contest. “This community is full of so many different ideas and perspectives, and I always love seeing how people bring their own spin to things,” Stella stated. “I can’t wait to see what they come up with for VidCon 2026.”

What Winners Receive

Each of the three winners will receive one Speaker badge and one additional badge for a parent or legal guardian. Travel, hotel accommodations, and transportation are not included in the prize package.

As Junior Correspondents, or as Guest Judges for VidCon’s “Crown the Creators” event, winners will conduct pre- and post-event interviews with featured creators, participate in select programming moments, and collaborate with the Zigazoo team to produce social-first content in real time.

“This exciting partnership with VidCon allows Zigazoo to expand real-world opportunities for its community while maintaining its commitment to youth-safe digital experiences,” said Ashley Mady, President of Zigazoo. “We’re proud to give young creators meaningful ways to participate in the Creator Economy in a safe, supportive environment.”

VidCon Context

The contest places young Zigazoo users at one of the Creator Economy’s largest annual gatherings. VidCon Anaheim 2026, the event’s 15th flagship edition, will feature executives from Twitch, Snap, Spotify, Pinterest, and Tubi, along with a new invitation-only Brand Match Accelerator program connecting 200 featured creators with brands and agencies.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Zigazoo to celebrate and inspire the next generation of creators,” said Sarah Tortoreti, VP of VidCon. “This partnership reflects VidCon’s commitment to fostering innovation and inclusivity in the digital space.”

To enter, participants must be registered Zigazoo users based in the U.S. Full contest rules are available at blog.zigazoo.com.
