The Ray of Light Awards (ROLA) is an annual film festival and cultural event held in Ibiza, Spain, founded in memory of actor Ray Stevenson. It distinguishes itself by celebrating films, music, and art that promote human flourishing, expand consciousness, and explore themes of connection, sustainability, and personal transformation. ROLA aims to position Ibiza as a cultural and creative hub, moving beyond its reputation as a nightlife destination by integrating film with broader cultural discourse and experiences in historic venues [rayoflightawards.com](https://rayoflightawards.com/), [forbes.es](https://forbes.es/en/balearic/928307/ibiza-wants-to-be-more-than-just-a-summer-destination-heres-a-look-at-the-international-festival-that-brings-together-film-art-and-social-consciousness-in-dalt-vila/).
