The IMMA Awards were launched in 2009 to highlight the talent shown by final-year (fourth year) students on the Bachelor’s Degree in Audiovisual Communication in their Final Degree Projects (TFG). In its eighth year (2017), the Awards incorporated new categories, thus allowing students from the Bachelor's Degree in Journalism and the Bachelor's Degree in Advertising and Public Relations to participate. The Awards are now a grand event during the academic year where all students can present their best projects from the current year to a professional jury.
