About the 25th DigiCon6 ASIA 2023
Organised by Tokyo Broadcasting System Holdings, Inc. (TBS Japan), the “DigiCon6 ASIA Awards” is an annual digital content competition in Asia. It was first launched in 2000 as a domestic contest in Japan and then opened wide its doors in 2006 to welcome the participation of aspiring and talented creators throughout Asia. This year, the competition welcomes participation from 15 countries throughout Asia and regional partners organise regional contests. The winners in each regional contest can then further compete in Japan’s Grand Finals.
In the face of a rapidly diversifying media environment, DigiCon6 ASIA is devoted to identifying and encouraging innovative creators who will be the next-generation leaders of the content industry in Asia. As the Singapore local organisers for the 25th DigiCon6 ASIA Awards, *SCAPE believes that this is an excellent platform for young Singaporean filmmakers to be exposed to the regional filmmaking community, and an opportunity to network with filmmakers and professionals alike in Asia.
