I wanted to thank the award on the entertainment platform like TikTok and it makes me very happy to receive this award." The authenticity of Alonso's words highlights the importance of community recognition and the direct connection between content creators and their followers on TikTok.

The third edition of the TikTok Spain Awards not only celebrated individual achievements, but also highlighted the essential role of the user community in selecting and celebrating their favorite creators in this vibrant and diverse digital space.
