There is something different in the TikTok Awards Indonesia 2023 this year. For the first time, TikTok has chosen three creators as 'Changemakers of the Year', a special category that highlights creators who bring positive changes, both within and outside the platform. Surprisingly, Pandawara Group emerged as one of the winners in this category.

For those who don't know, Pandawara Group is a group of young people from Bandung who focus on addressing environmental issues. Starting from a clean-up initiative of rivers in the surrounding area, Pandawara Group has now initiated activities to clean up more than 620 tons of waste at 187 points scattered throughout Indonesia.

“Pandawara Group was formed from the initiative and awareness of cleanliness around our place of residence. Then we continue this activity to other places. Until now, we have even succeeded in cleaning up 187 river points around West Java and 6 beaches in different provinces in Indonesia,” said Pandawara Group.

It doesn't stop there, the creator who started his journey on TikTok since August 2022 also received the most votes for the 'Rising Star of the Year' category, and was chosen by the jury as the 'Creator of the Year'.

“Alhamdulillah tonight we managed to win 3 awards at once, namely 'Changemakers of the Year', 'Creator of the Year', and 'Rising Star of the Year'. We really didn't expect to receive awards like this,” said one member of Pandawara Group.

In addition to Pandawara Group (@pandawaragroup), TikTok Indonesia also appointed two other creators as winners in this category, namely Wike (@_wike.afrilia_), a creator from Sulawesi who now lives in Papua. The content that he has been creating on TikTok revolves around daily life, as well as the traditions and culture in Papua.

Another creator is Sajodo Snack (sajodosnack), a small and medium-sized enterprise that markets various snacks on TikTok. Since becoming active on TikTok, Sajodo Snack has successfully created job opportunities for the surrounding community, currently employing 140 staff and collaborating with two small villages, benefiting around 200 people in Indonesia.
