The International Pakistan Prestige Awards (IPPAs) – one of the biggest independent, star-studded Pakistani events taking place internationally, is all set for its fourth outing, this time in Istanbul, after two successful stints in the United Kingdom and one in Norway. The awards ceremony will be held at Hilton Istanbul Bomonti Hotel and Conference Centre, on December 26, 2020. The first IPPA happened in 2017, celebrating 70 years of Pakistan, and since then there has been no looking back. With our media and showbiz industry supporting the Awards in great numbers in the past, this year too it is expected that many top celebrities will be representing Pakistan and presenting a soft image of our country to the rest of the world by promoting Pakistani cinema, television, fashion and music, especially at a time when economic activity is at an all-time low, and international events all cancelled or postponed. The two organisers of IPPA, Ali Malik and Mukhtar Ahmad sounded very jubilant and positive when announcing the event. Speaking on the occasion Malik said, ‘We have had to face many challenges this time thanks to the pandemic and have postponed and even changed destinations a few times but were determined that we could continue to keep Pakistan’s flag flying high, in spite of all odds. Therefore, keeping the Covid-19 SOPs in mind, we are organising the event for invitees only, and Inshallah, will execute it without risk to any of the participants and stakeholders’ The two organisers of IPPA, Ali Malik and Mukhtar Ahmad sounded very jubilant and positive when announcing the event.
