Mariia Grazhina Chaplin, CEO of WIBA: «I am proud to announce the fifth-anniversary WIBA Awards edition this year. And there is a lot of thing making the 2023 ceremony special: the trophies exclusively designed by famous artist Richard Orlinski; also, we expect to host 400 honorary guests in a fabulous newly renovated venue in Hotel Martinez. The date of the WIBA Awards ceremony makes every year the event distinctive, as it takes place during Cannes Film Festival. Therefore the WIBA title holders, Influencers, and other attendees not only entertain their audiences with gorgeous photos and looks but also educate them about the art of cinema being present at the most significant event of the sphere. The most important feature of social media personalities is awareness of their posts. WIBA attracts attendees’ attention to the content ethic, clearness, and responsibility. That’s why we plan to hold the event during Art Basel, Miami, as we declare WIBA’s mission is to help Influencers educate society.
The impact of influencers beyond the virtual world no longer needs to be proven. We want to turn influencers’ potential into a wide-reaching power to act, change the world for the better, and help bring about universal peace, justice, and equal opportunities for all.»
