Trusted by prestigious global and Asian iconic pageants such as Miss Earth, Miss Cosmo, Miss Global Mr. World, Miss Thailand, Miss Philippines Earth and various national editions of Miss Universe,... Eventista is redefining how technology can transform both financial growth and meaningful audience connections. FROM VISION TO PIONEER IN EVENT TECHNOLOGY - EVENTISTA BECOMES A GOLD STEVIE® WINNER AT THE 22ND INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS AWARDS The International Business Awards® (IBA), part of the Stevie® Awards programs, is one of the world's most prestigious honors, recognizing outstanding achievements across business, technology, services,... with over 12,000 nominations each year. Eventista's recognition as a Gold Stevie® Winner in the New Product & Product Management Categories marks a landmark achievement, highlighting its impressive success in optimizing revenue and fan engagement for over 600 entertainment events across 30 countries within just one year. The judging process involved over 200 global business leaders, who highly praised Eventista for its bold vision: Empowering event organizers to transform fan engagement into a sustainable revenue stream. The company also impressed the judges with its two flagship platforms: 1Vote and 1Zone. 1Vote has become the leading voting platform for beauty pageants and entertainment events, offering both free and paid voting. Meanwhile, 1Zone serves as a digital hub for e-ticketing and merchandise, creating an interactive space that connects artists and fans. Beyond delivering technology, Eventista also acts as a strategic media consulting partner, working closely with organizers to launch promotional campaigns that maximize the conversion of engagement into tangible revenue. From a business perspective, revenue generated through fan communities often helps organizers cover 30–50% of event expenses. Besides, these engagement activities can boost revenue growth by an average of 100 - 145% and increase event traffic by up to 500% compared to traditional methods. "We are truly impressed by your organization's innovative approach in redefining how entertainment businesses connect with and monetize their fan communities. Eventista's vision stands out for its clarity and impact, further validated by the remarkable growth potential of the global online voting and fan engagement market", shared the IBA judges.

For instance, in Thailand, Eventista integrates payment options like Line Pay, TrueMoney Wallet, Thai QR Payment, and Krungsri Bank, enabling Miss Thailand - one of the most iconic national pageants - to achieve record-breaking results of 2,600,000 votes across 8,900 successful transactions. Similarly, at Miss Philippines Earth, Eventista integrated payment platforms such as GCash, ShopeePay Philippines, GrabPay, PayMaya, and Alipay+, allowing fans to support their favorite contestants with ease. The campaign attracted over 49,800 engaged fans, generating more than 40,000 successful transactions and 3,840,000 votes - a testament to how technology can amplify both participation and revenue.

Stand Out in the Meetings & Events Space: Your Guide to the Skift IDEA Awards
Did you know this year's Skift IDEA Awards will celebrate the Meetings & Events Industry across four categories? Here's your step-by-step guide to make sure your submissions stand out from the crowd. If you're eyeing the Skift IDEA Awards, congrats! You're already on the path to getting your amazing work recognized. And even better news, for 2025, Skift Meetings will be presenting four new categories - Hotels, Convention Centers & Other Venues, Destination Marketing Organizations and Event Technology - to spotlight and celebrate the business events industry's most respected and innovative suppliers. But we know all too well that entering awards takes a lot of work. There are categories to choose from, submission forms to complete, and deadlines to navigate. It can be a bit overwhelming, right? That's where we come in. With the right steps and a little guidance, you can submit an entry that stands out. Want to make sure you've got all the details in check? Download our 'How to Enter' guide for a step-by-step walkthrough. Best Practices for Entering the Skift IDEA Awards Here's how to submit an entry that truly shines: 1. Plan Your Submission in Advance Scrambling at the last minute is not good for anyone. Trust me, you'll feel way more at ease if you plan ahead. Start by marking all the key dates in your calendar and sharing them with key stakeholders, especially the ones when entry fees go up. Skift IDEA Awards fees increase as the final deadline gets closer, so submitting early isn't just a time-saver, it's a money-saver. Save $50 if you enter by 11:59 p.m. ET on May 8. Submit early to secure the best price! 2. Select the Right Category Choosing the category that aligns most with your product is key to getting your submission set up for success. With four Meetings & Events categories to choose from, don't just throw it into a category that "seems close enough." Really think about where your project fits. Read the category descriptions carefully. Download a blank PDF from the portal to plan out your ideas before starting. That way, you're ready to hit the ground running. 3. Word counts? Don't panic We know you're passionate about your work. But sometimes, less really is more. Keep your language clear and direct, as our Judges will be reviewing many entries, so your submission needs to be easy to digest quickly. Stick to the essentials and keep things concise. The Skift IDEA Awards entry form has a 100-500 word limit per section, so you'll need to balance being thorough with being brief. Focus on the big picture and the key points that make your work stand out. 4. Personality is Key Sure, it's a professional process, but that doesn't mean it can't be exciting. The judges are looking at a lot of submissions, so showing a little personality can go a long way. Use visuals, videos, and maybe even share a short anecdote to give your project a human touch. Judges love fresh thinking. Use every section in the form to tell the story behind your work. It'll help the judges connect with your submission on a deeper level.

Back up your submission with tangible proof: share any customer testimonials, case studies, data points, or any media coverage you've received. The more proof you have of your project's success, the stronger your entry will be. Attach images, videos, or documents that help tell your story and provide real-world proof of your impact. 6. Proofread Before Submitting Last-minute changes are common, but before you submit, give everything a thorough review. Typos or incomplete fields can hurt your submission, so make sure everything looks polished. A fresh pair of eyes can help spot errors you might have missed. We might use parts of your submission in marketing materials if you make it to the finalist stage, so it's worth making sure everything looks polished and professional. 7. Lock-In Your Submission Early Submitting early means you have time to review your entry and make edits if needed. Plus, it gives you a little breathing room if something unexpected comes up later. You've already secured your spot and the best rate, so take your time! You can always go back and tweak your submission before the final deadline. The key is to get started early, so you're not cramming at the last minute. 8. Keep Your Focus on the Future Skift IDEA Awards is all about innovation. So, make sure your entry emphasizes not just what you've done, but how your work is shaping the future of the industry. What's next for your project? Where can it go from here? Think about your entry as not just a reflection of what you've done, but also as a preview of what's to come. Judges love to see how your project is poised to make a lasting impact.
