Most innovative and transcendental content
ROLA focuses on messages that hold the light and care more about the content than the kind of “packaging” used to convey it, the clarity of the message & the beginning of a new narrative.
We choose to honor creators across all media who convey the “most needed” (as Ray would say) stories and messages to not only entertain & enchant but to inspire and guide humanity through the dawn of this new era.
WHY THE ROLAS AND WHY IBIZA
As the season shifts, after the exodus of the summer crowds and shuttered night clubs, Ibiza breathes again, few breathed in the White Island deeper than Ray Stevenson, and the sum of all of its parts became the sanctuary of his soul. It was always Ray’s wish to create a film, TV, & Art “Festival” in Ibiza to platform a gathering of young minds and master creators, giving voice to those who, through artistic endeavors, challenge convention, spark dialogue, and redefine what it means to be a storyteller, be it through art, music, dance, fashion, poetry, or simply through being human.
Ibiza is so much more than an annual summer destination for over 4 million people; the party capital of the world, a bohemian paradise, birthplace of the Balearic sound that captured the hearts of the world's leading DJs, or the resting place for migrating birds heading South for winter.
The Ray of Light Awards isn’t just another award ceremony. It’s a beacon of hope, a celebration of the transformative power of art, and a testament to the enduring spirit of our dear friend, Ray.
Join us in honoring Ray’s legacy, in celebrating the artists who illuminate our world, and in embracing the transformative potential of Ibiza to shape a brighter, more connected and more truthful future for us all. Join us in honoring Ray’s legacy, in celebrating the artists who illuminate our world, and in embracing the transformative potential of Ibiza to shape a brighter, more connected and more truthful future for us all.
ROLA 2024, THE SEED
This year, a year after Ray’s passing, ROLA plants the first SEED in this fertile Ibiza soil, to anchor its spark in its rightful home.
With this initiation, we aim to create an intimate yet powerful gathering of all those who knew, understood, experienced, and fueled the artistic purity and creative integrity that Ray embodied throughout his life.
RAY STEVENSON
Ray’s journey on the magical island of Ibiza helped him shine light on remote areas of his souls. And, just as he was shining his light the brightest, igniting great change, joy and epiphanies not only within himself but in all those he encountered, his soul departed for the greatest journey of all.
His departure leaves us here on Earth under the spell of his newly heightened frequency from higher realms, shining the full magnetism of his expanded and joyful wisdom. We are here to create a landing pad for his expanded light, to assist him in being the bridge, the ladder that, to use a Platonic metaphor, ‘will assist us in getting out of our cave, and finally toward the nous.’
In his memory, we honor not just his multifaceted artistic prowess but his unwavering belief in the ability of art to unite, inspire, amuse, provoke change, and connect to higher realms.
