Malaysia is heading towards a knowledge-driven economy and The One Academy has responded to this by supporting the growth of the creative new media industry. One such projects that The One Academy had embarked upon in the past 16 years in collaboration with Walt Disney Studios Malaysia, is the joint launching of Disney•Pixar’s animated movies in Malaysia with an annual art competition.
The Malaysia Top 10 Outstanding Young Artist Award 2014 aims to inspire and reward enthusiasts of new media and multimedia design. Furthermore, this is also an exciting platform to motivate and inspire talents to further develop their skills professionally.
