Instagram has unveiled the “Ring” Awards, a new global initiative designed to honor 25 outstanding creators who have redefined how people communicate, create, and connect online. This move highlights Instagram’s commitment to recognizing authenticity, creativity, and innovation in the digital space.
The 25 selected winners will receive a real gold ring—a tangible mark of achievement—and an exclusive digital badge displayed on their profiles. This badge will identify them as part of Instagram’s elite creator community, celebrating their influence and contributions to modern storytelling.
The launch of the Ring Awards comes as Instagram continues to evolve beyond a social platform into a global hub for entrepreneurship, education, and activism. From artists and influencers to educators and advocates, these creators embody the platform’s mission to inspire, empower, and connect communities worldwide.
According to Instagram, the award acknowledges those who “set new standards of creativity” and encourage others to innovate and express themselves. Alongside recognition, the initiative supports creators with enhanced visibility, monetization tools, and creative opportunities.
With this groundbreaking award, Instagram solidifies its role as more than a social media app—it’s a global stage for creative excellence and digital recognition.
