The first-ever Asian Academy Awards will be held in Singapore in December to honor projects across 49 categories.<\/p>\n

The Asian Academy Awards were established to serve the creative industries as the pinnacle of their achievement in content creation and media production.\u2028 The Asian Academy Awards celebrate works from Australia and New Zealand, Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.<\/p>\n

Categories will include best actor, best actress, best immersive (for 360-degree, VR and AR), best video game, best ad and best branded. There are also children\u2019s and animation categories such as best special FX. Other categories include best digital short-form and more. The first round of judging will take place in each country to find the nation\u2019s best content representative to send to the Asian Academy Awards Final.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis gives content makers the chance to be acknowledged by their peers as the best in country, which in itself is a huge honor,\u201d commented Ricky Ow, chairman of Awards.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis new system means you have the honor of being judged the best in your country, then, if you win the Asian Academy Awards, you know you really are the best of the best,\u201d added Asian Academy Awards’ president, Michael McKay. \u201cWhen you come to Singapore you\u2019re not just representing your own show, you\u2019re representing your country…. No pressure. These awards are for the industry, by the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He continued, \u201cFor those Asian Academy Award winners who qualify for a corresponding International Emmy Award category, we will sponsor their entry and support them through the process. We want to see more Emmy Awards heading to Asia. I\u2019m also proud to have the opportunity to host the prestigious semi-final judging for the International Emmys on August 17 in Singapore.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA)\u2019s assistant chief executive (industry development), Angeline Poh, said, \u201cAs Singapore\u2019s Infocomm media sector lead, the IMDA welcomes the new television and content awards, which celebrates creative excellence of the vast talent across Asia. We are also currently in discussions on how we can further support the Asian Academy Awards.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
