International Iconic Awards Franchisee Opportunities

A Global Vision with Local Roots
International Iconic Awards (IIA) has proudly completed 10 extraordinary years, celebrating excellence across Film, Television, OTT platforms, and Influencer industries. As a pioneer in recognizing and awarding talent, IIA is now expanding its legacy through an exclusive franchise model. This initiative aims to bring the spotlight to regional entertainment industries across India, empowering them to reach unparalleled heights.

Imagine a platform that not only celebrates but also amplifies the rich diversity of Indian regional cinema, music, and art forms. IIA is the first award show globally to create a franchise model for regional states and entertainment industries, and we invite you to be part of this transformative journey.

Why Choose IIA Franchisee?

1. A Unique Vision:
IIA is the only award platform globally that recognizes Film, Television, OTT, and Influencers under one roof. By awarding talent across multiple domains, we ensure a truly inclusive celebration of creativity and excellence.

2. Unparalleled Regional Focus:
Our franchise model prioritizes the cultural uniqueness and cinematic brilliance of each Indian state. For example, Pollywood (Punjab), Tollywood (Andhra Pradesh & Telangana), and Kollywood (Tamil Nadu) can now gain national and global visibility.

3. Proven Track Record of Success:
We’ve already demonstrated the impact of this model. In 2024, IIA Marathi Season 1, held in Mumbai, brought together over 40+ celebrities, creating a buzz across the industry. This monumental success set the benchmark for future franchise events.

4. Networking & Business Growth:
An IIA franchise brings together regional stars, performers, influential business leaders, and global brands. This dynamic network opens new doors for partnerships, collaborations, and opportunities to grow your business.

5. Access to National & Global Platforms:
With media partners like Zee5, Jio News, and Big FM, as well as extensive digital and physical marketing campaigns, your franchise event will have unmatched visibility and reach.

6. Industry Leadership:

Benefits of Becoming an IIA Franchisee

Recognition on National Platforms: As a franchisee, your region’s talent and culture will gain unparalleled visibility.
Brand Collaboration Opportunities: Work with some of the biggest names in entertainment and business.
Economic Growth: Franchise events stimulate local economies by attracting sponsors, media, and audiences.
Empower Regional Talent: Be the catalyst that helps actors, singers, dancers, and other artists achieve the recognition they deserve.

What Makes IIA Unique?

1. One Roof for All Categories:
While other awards focus on one domain, we bring Film, Television, OTT, and Influencers together under one roof.

2. International Expansion:
With plans to launch franchises in global markets, IIA is poised to connect Indian regional talent with the world.

3. Cultural Impact:
By celebrating regional art forms, languages, and talent, IIA contributes to preserving and promoting India’s rich cultural heritage.

International Iconic Awards stands as the first and only award show in India to introduce a franchisee model, revolutionizing the way regional entertainment industries are recognized. Unlike any other award platform, we aim to expand our reach to highlight the richness and diversity of Indian regional languages and cinema.

India’s southern region alone boasts vibrant and distinct entertainment industries in states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh. Each has its unique culture and talent, yet they are often grouped together without individual acknowledgment. At International Iconic Awards, we are committed to celebrating the uniqueness of every state’s entertainment industry—a feat no one has attempted before.

This groundbreaking initiative not only fosters growth and connection among regional industries but also positions us as pioneers in creating a unified yet diverse platform for India’s entertainment ecosystem. Our vision is clear: to become India’s number one award show while honoring and promoting the brilliance of every regional entertainment industry. This forward-thinking approach truly sets us apart from the rest.
