The Perlas Awards 2026 underscores the importance of recognizing not only creative excellence but also the initiatives, collaboration, and purpose-driven work of Multimedia Arts and Design students of iACADEMY. As the creative industry evolves, there is a growing need for platforms that celebrate student-led innovation, from conceptualization to execution.

Held at the iACADEMY Nexus Auditorium in Makati, the second Perlas Awards serves as a culminating event where students showcase their capstone and thesis projects ranging from digital media campaigns, short films, branding solutions, websites, and interactive design outputs. These initiatives reflect real-world applications, addressing social issues, audience engagement, and industry demands. The program features structured segments including a batch showcase video, guest performances, and the recognition of both major and special awards in innovation-driven projects.

Beyond awarding winners, the event highlights the collaborative spirit of students through group projects, storytelling presentations, and creative executions developed under industry-aligned training. It also integrates partner support, sponsor participation, and faculty recognition, reinforcing a holistic creative ecosystem.

Through the Perlas Awards, iACADEMY demonstrates how its Multimedia Arts and Design students are not only producing visually compelling outputs but are also creating meaningful, impactful work. The event stands as a testament to the institution’s commitment to nurturing Game Changers, individuals equipped to lead, innovate, and shape the future of the creative industry.
