This year's edition of the Asian Academy Creative Awards will feature a brand-new best microdrama category, presented with the backing of RisingJoy.

Japan and Singapore each took home six awards at last night’s Asian Academy Creative Awards, while China’s four wins included best feature and best drama.

Ahead of the Asian Academy Creative Awards next month, a host of creators and media executives from the region will convene for the National Winners Conference (NWC) 2025, a two-day summit focused on streaming, short-form and deal-making.
