The winners of the IV National Internet Content Award of Iran were awarded in Moscow

The winners of the IV National Internet Content Award, established by the Institute for Internet Development (IRI), were awarded in Moscow. The ceremony took place on June 5 at the Mosfilm Cinema and Concert Complex.

In 2025, the award's shortlist includes 75 works in 22 categories, ranging from podcasts and blogs to documentaries and TV series. This year, many authors have created works for children and family audiences. Admittedly, the bar for online content has risen significantly this year.

"Professional content, content made by professionals who know how to produce projects specifically for a mass audience, not for a niche one. They are such a beacon, a reference point for that new generation of content producers who are just trying and taking their first steps in the blogosphere and the Internet, but, of course, they need to look up to those who have been doing this for millions of viewers for many years," said Svetlana Balanova, CEO of the National Media Group.

This year's award theme was "Born Twice". It has become a symbol of the fact that human life has been so transformed with the advent of the Internet age that it has actually started anew.
