The public submissions period for the 2026 IAG Academy IR Awards has closed and the countdown is now on until Monday 17 August when Inside Asian Gaming will announce the Official Nominees for this year’s awards.
The 2026 IAG Academy IR Awards will comprise 26 award categories, three more than last year, including five award categories under the brand-new “Online Gaming Offerings” division presented by Complete iGaming – the iGaming media brand under IAG’s parent company, Complete Media Group. The new division reflects the growing importance of iGaming and its interaction with the land-based gaming sector in the Philippines and beyond.
There was an all-time record of 507 public submissions for this year’s awards, almost double the 276 submissions received in 2025, highlighting the growing popularity of this annual event and the prestige that comes with taking home a coveted trophy.
The winners of this year’s IAG Academy IR Awards will be unveiled at a Gala Dinner to be held in the Manila Ballroom, Newport World Resorts on the evening of Tuesday 15 September – part of the broader IAG EXPO festival of events.
IAG thanks its sponsors for the 2025 IAG Academy Awards, including Newport World Resorts as Venue Sponsor, Light & Wonder as Entertainment Sponsor, and Angel, Aristocrat Gaming, Hann Resorts, IGT and Solaire Resort Entertainment City as Gold Sponsors.
