Our Nominated Content Creators at the 2026 Gala InfluenceCréation
Here is a full breakdown of who is nominated and what they are being recognized for:
Accou (@accouuu) Nominated for Collaboration of the Year (with TRESemmé) and Discovery of the Year.
Accou picked up two nominations this year, one for a brand collaboration that clearly connected with audiences, and one that signals real momentum. The Discovery of the Year category recognizes creators who broke through and built something meaningful in a short window of time. Both nominations reflect exactly the kind of authentic, engaged content Accou has been building.
Lucie Rhéaume Gonzalez (@lucierheaume) Nominated for Lifestyle, Adventure and Travel, and Instagrammer of the Year
Three nominations across three distinct categories is major. Lucie has built a presence that does not fit neatly into one box, which is one of the hardest things to do as a creator and the most compelling to watch. Her ability to translate real experiences into content that actually resonates has earned her recognition at the highest level of Quebec's digital awards.
Domino Santantonio (@dominosantantonio) Nominated for English-Speaking International Influence
This category exists because the Quebec creator scene extends well beyond provincial or language borders. Domino has been building an audience and influence that reaches internationally, which is a specific and genuinely difficult thing to do. This nomination recognizes that reach and the work behind it.
Émilie Lévesque (@emilielevesque3) and Café Balade Nominated for Emerging Business of the Year
Café Balade is what happens when a creative vision turns into an actual business that people seek out. This nomination sits in the Emerging Business category, which recognizes creators who have moved beyond content into entrepreneurship.
Girl Crush, by Lucie Rhéaume Gonzalez and Cindy Cournoyer (@cindycournoyer) Nominated for Company of the Year and Fashion and Beauty
Girl Crush is a clothing brand born from a friendship and built in the digital space. It is nominated in two of the Gala's most competitive categories, which says a lot about how far the brand has come. Consistent, intentional, and genuinely community-driven, Girl Crush has earned its place in the conversation.
Why These Nominations Reflect a Bigger Shift in the Quebec Creator Economy
Quebec content creators are not just building audiences anymore and posting “just to post”. They are building brands, businesses, and cultural touchpoints. The 2026 Gala InfluenceCréation nominations across our roster reflect exactly that shift. From international influence to emerging entrepreneurship, our creators are operating at the intersection of content and real industry.
