The 11th Globe Media Excellence Awards (GMEA@11) has unveiled its exceptional roster of finalists, each demonstrating the power of compelling storytelling to drive meaningful change, champion digital empowerment, and promote sustainability.

Expanding its reach to capture a wider range of perspectives and narratives, GMEA@11 now includes Luzon’s provincial media, alongside entries from Visayas and Mindanao, reflecting the breadth and diversity of stories from across the country.

“Storytelling is a powerful tool that connects people, fosters understanding, and inspires action within communities. Through these awards, we honor individuals who demonstrate courage and innovation in shaping a more inclusive and progressive society,” said Yoly Crisanto, Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer at Globe.

This year’s GMEA celebrates outstanding achievements across three divisions: Integrated Media, Digital Storytelling, and Special Awards. Guided by the theme “#IgnitingProgress,” the finalists were selected for their creativity, impact, and innovative application of digital media technologies.
