“What an incredible honour to receive this recognition from the industry! When we created MTV Music Evolution, we wanted to create a narrative about the evolution of a music genre. It was amazing to see how we helped create history by bringing together iconic and contemporary music acts – international and local – onto a single stage to do just that. We share this award specifically with the Tourism Promotions Board in the Philippines, who was with us right from the start of concept development. And we’ll aim to keep creating the most talked about live music events,” said Paras Sharma, Vice President of MTV & Digital Media, Viacom International Media Networks Asia.
