At Mashable, we spend a ridiculous amount of time scrolling through social media — and we know you do the same.
You might say we’re a bit obsessed.
In 2025, we were excited to launch The Mashable 101, our essential guide to the creators who made the internet interesting that year.
Well we’re doing it all again in 2026, except this time, we’re inviting you to nominate the content creators you think should be on our list.
We’re looking for the digital voices carving out a niche for themselves in the past year, the ones who are using their platform to inform, entertain, or delight — and who our readers believe deserves a fast follow.
Mashable Trend Report
Send us your nominations and tell us why your favorite creator deserves to be our very first Mashable 101 Fan Fave.
After the nomination period, we’ll put our finalists to a vote. You’ll be able to weigh in once more and rally around the creators you love most.
Follow us on TikTok, Instagram, X, Facebook, or your social platform of choice, and check back at Mashable.com for the announcement of our winner later this year.
From YouTubers and TikTok stars to streamers and podcasters, Mashable talks to creators about how they built their platforms, the gear they swear by, and the trends they see coming next.
