realme FanFest 2025 begins with The Juans and a Nationwide Songwriting Competition with a P300,000 Prize | #BenchPaylaBlog

 

The brand’s month-long celebration returns with music-driven content, fan stories, and exciting rewards.

Building on the momentum of the previous year's success, realme FanFest grows and evolves in important ways year after year. What began as a local celebration has now expanded regionally: realme FanFest 2024, produced in collaboration with Stratminds Events, has been nominated for the "Best Consumer Event: Product Launch/Re-Launch" category at the Marketing Events Awards 2025 in Singapore. This distinction, earned alongside multinational companies, demonstrates how realme's fan-first initiatives continue to push limits and exceed expectations.

Now, realme takes it a step further, celebrating the 7th annual FanFest in 2025 with the theme REALmix, a month-long festival that puts fans front and center through music, tales, and special rewards. It's more than just celebrating milestones; it's about allowing the Squad to express what it means to be a member of the realme community.

This year's FanFest is built around three big initiatives that highlight the authentic voices behind the brand.

The Real Soundtrack: Songwriting Contest

realme launches a nationwide songwriting competition open to aspiring musicians aged 18 and above. With themes centered on authenticity, togetherness, and community, the contest offers one lucky winner a P300,000 prize and the chance to have their song professionally recorded as the official track for realme’s holiday campaign. It’s an opportunity for emerging talent to step into the spotlight and be heard by a national audience.

 

Keeping It Real: Stories that resonate

Back by popular demand, the Keeping It Real series is back, featuring heartfelt stories from realme's most loyal fans and creators. Staying true to its commitment to celebrating real stories and meaningful connections, realme has once again collaborated with artists and personalities from its previous campaigns. This year, The Juans and Aiyana Perlas take center stage, sharing personal narratives that showcase how realme has supported their journeys—driving their passion, purpose, and daily breakthroughs. Episodes will be released weekly on realme's official Facebook page, offering a closer look into their lives behind the scenes.
