The philosophy behind the St. Moritz Award There is something magical in the air in St.Moritz, to be found in its unique colours, in the nature that distinguishes the seasons and in the gentle passing of time. Since the late nineteenth century, St.Moritz has been a special place for artists, actors, royal families and politicians. The streets of St.Moritz have seen decades of history, leaving the indelible marks of many styles and cultures. Something magical transforms those who spend time in St.Moritz. Everything happens naturally and spontaneously, and what matters is no longer appearing but being. Meeting in special places creates occasions that highlight aspects of excellence, revealing their most important details. There is something magical in common in special lives,
distinguished careers and internationally recognised success with a desire and a need for commitment to social issues. The St.Moritz Award was established for the purpose of rediscovering, rewarding and celebrating that something magical that ÂŤhumanisesÂť iconic personalities. New in its kind, the Award recognises the charitable aspects of distinguished careers. The St. Moritz Award is an event with a soul, a desire to identify uniqueness in successful men and women. In St.Moritz, the glamour, charm and stardom of men and women decorated with this Award are not only for show. Rather, they become the means for intervening with force and successfully in social issues.
The St.Moritz Award is given to men and women who stand out for their artistic merits and who enjoy being recognised for their commitment to civil society and social issues. Something magical makes the St.Moritz Award a new event with a meaning that can be shared and artistic and humanitarian overtones making it absolutely innovative on the worldwide scenario of awards and celebrations.
CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT The St. Moritz Award was created and developed with the desire that it should become a coveted award for people who fashion their lives and careers striving constantly for excellence and for humanitarian and social commitment. Every year, the Committee of Honour, working closely with the Organisation, selects two or more celebrities whose particular artistic and
professional merits have set them apart and who have made active contributions to charitable causes. The selection will be based on criteria of objective excellence. The award winners will be ÂŤTop of the WorldÂť, having used their professional success to serve humanity by using the benefits afforded to them by their personal fame and visibility to help others.
