St. Louis to Host First-Ever Content Creator Competition

ST. LOUIS - EntSun -- ST. LOUIS, MO –The Selfie Room, a self-service and full-service creative studio in downtown St. Louis, today announced the city's first-ever Content Creator Competition (CCC) — a new event created to spotlight local talent, amplify fresh voices, and connect creators with brand opportunities.

Blending the viral energy of TikTok with the spotlight of America's Got Talent, the CCC will showcase 20 creators filming exclusively at The Selfie Room between August 28 and September 8. Contestants will use the studio's styled sets and professional lighting to produce their content.

"No professional experience is required. This competition is for everyday creators who put in the hours filming, editing, and posting—and deserve the chance to turn that effort into real opportunity," said Heather Borman, owner of The Selfie Room. "The CCC reflects our mission of helping people feel confident and creative, while giving brands access to authentic voices ready to tell their story."
