The upcoming LIA 2026 awards have called for entries to be judged on their entertainment appeal rather than just the underlying idea, according to a statement on manifest-media.in.
The organisers of the LIA 2026 awards released a directive emphasizing that the primary criterion for judging should be the entertainment value of the work. The statement, posted on the media portal manifest-media.in, cautions against focusing solely on the conceptual idea behind submissions.
According to the notice, judges are expected to assess how engaging, enjoyable and audience‑friendly each entry is, rather than measuring only its originality or conceptual depth. This approach aims to reward content that resonates with viewers and delivers a compelling experience.
The clarification comes as the LIA 2026 event approaches, with participants from various creative fields preparing their submissions. Organisers hope the revised emphasis will encourage creators to balance innovation with mass appeal.
No further details on the award categories or the ceremony schedule were provided in the release.
