Student Academy Awards Presentation at TIFF
Monday 14th September, 2026
The Student Academy Awards is an annual Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences programme that recognises outstanding films made by college and university students, awarding medals and making winners eligible for Academy Award consideration; this year there’s an unusual presentation tie-in at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), bringing student work to a broader international festival audience. This gives Lego’s PR team a chance to talk about creativity, education and playful storytelling in film — and to comment on supporting young makers and learning through play, particularly to audiences across North America, the UK and Europe attending TIFF.
Why have we flagged this?
Strong alignment — Lego can credibly link its brand to creativity, storytelling and education for young makers, offering spokespeople, filmmaker partnerships, playful activations or sponsored student prizes; it also affords reactive comment about supporting emerging talent at a high-profile festival.
