Dove is inviting South Africans to nominate bold and inspiring social media voices for the first-ever #DoveCreatorCollective, a creator academy celebrating authenticity, confidence, and self-expression.
The #DoveCreatorCollective is centred around real-life moments, personal stories, and self-expression, celebrating creators who confidently embrace their true selves and #SkinThatDoves.
This nationwide search gives South Africans the chance to spotlight creators who inspire them through self-expression, confidence, creativity, and authenticity in beauty.
Pavla Sessions, Marketing Manager for Dove South Africa, says the #DoveCreatorCollective celebrates creators “who show up as their unapologetic, authentic selves” and share “real stories that resonate beyond the feed.”
The #DoveCreatorCollective will support a new generation of creators through mentorship, masterclasses, and access to industry leaders, helping selected “Dovelies” grow their content skills and influence.
Expect immersive experiences, from high-energy events and product drops to meaningful moments that celebrate a dynamic, expressive lifestyle full of possibility.

The journey starts with public nominations, followed by a curated selection process led by the Dove Creator Council, featuring voices like Mpoomy Ledwaba, Lwandile Makhaza, Coachella Randy, Lebo Lion, and Thickleeyonce.
Once nominated, creators will submit their content for review by the Dove Creator Council, with 60 standout creators selected from Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban.
