ZEENFLUENTIAL AWARDS 2025 OFFICIAL NOMINEES FINALLY REVEALED!

 

Quezon City — Energy, excitement, and star power filled URBN QC today as Zeen Media officially revealed the nominees for the ZEENfluential Awards 2025 during a media conference attended by the press.

The ZEENfluential Awards celebrates the most influential voices shaping pop culture today—from rising stars to changemakers across music, film, fashion, digital content, and the arts. More than just a night of recognition, it’s a platform for hearing the voices of the youth and championing Filipino creativity and storytelling in all its forms. Winners are determined through a combined 50% public voting and 50% editorial voting, recognizing that influence isn’t dictated—it’s chosen.

Born from the spirit of ZEEN, this year’s theme, Culture X Influence, marks where creativity meets impact—where every voice, story, and idea pushes culture forward. It’s a celebration of the creators, trendsetters, and cultural forces who turn moments into movements, inspiring a generation to dream louder, act bolder, and define the times.

"Gen Z isn’t just part of the culture, they are shaping it—and in a time when everything feels loud, fast, and kind of blurry. ZEEN is here to be that space of clarity, authenticity, and connection, a place where real stories, real people, and real influence matter. That’s what the ZEENfluential Awards are all about. It’s not just about who’s trending. It’s about who’s making an impact,” shared Direk Real S. Florido, Creative Chief Officer and Executive Vice President of CreaZion Studios, and Business Head of Zeen Media.

The celebration continues at the ZEENfluential Awards Night on November 20, 2025 at Okada Manila’s Night Lounge. Expect live performances, special guests, and unforgettable moments as we crown this year’s most influential voices.
