A 13-year-old Filipino based in Dubai is making waves after being named one of the grand winners of the popular “Face of Glitch” competition, an annual talent search hosted by Glitch Arabia at Al Ghurair Centre. Marc Samuel Antillion, recognized for his creativity, charm, and confidence, emerged victorious among hundreds of hopefuls, earning a prize of AED 25,000 and a Glitch Annual Pass.
The “Face of Glitch” competition seeks young performers aged 6 to 16 to represent the Glitch brand as its ambassadors. Participants submitted 30-second video entries via social media, showcasing talents ranging from singing to dancing. The top entries were shortlisted for public voting and eventually for live stage performances, culminating in the selection of two grand winners.
Marc’s achievement has opened exciting opportunities in branding, modeling, and youth empowerment. His proud parent shared that the recognition marks not just a personal win but a meaningful moment for the broader Filipino community in the UAE, saying it highlights “Filipino talent thriving on international platforms.”
