Mandaluyong City (August 11, 2015) – Globaltronics officially launched the National Digital Arts Awards (NDAA) 2015 under the theme #DigitalPinoyAko last August 7 at 500 Shaw Zentrum Events Pavilion.

From among the eleven (11) judges of the contest, one is from Naga City. Benedick Bana is the current Chairperson of Department of Digital Arts and Computer Animation of Ateneo de Naga University. He teaches Animation and Computer Graphics in ADNU for almost 11 years. He is also a freelance digital artist. He collaborated with Tom Freeman “Freematik” in Darkmoon, a motion comics with music soundtrack where he created all the character designs, environments, and props of all the scenes. He also worked as a freelance artist in Topside Minigames, and worked with international digital character designers such as Alexander Snow, and Scott Peterson for an indie games. With this inclusion, let's hope that many Nagueno and Bicolano animators join this year's NDAA.
