The publisher of this website, the most read English – language online publication dedicated to Romania, will reward game changers in 8 categories during the Romania Insider Awards. Those who do business ethically, promote sustainable and correct models, inspire, innovate and contribute to Romania’s promotion abroad, should apply online.
The selection process is transparent and ethical. In their mission to discover those who build #PositiveRomania, the organizers were joined by 16 top managers from big companies and business organizations in Romania. They are part of the Jury and the Board of Advisors, which will filter out nominations in a two-step voting process.
Winners in the 8 categories will be awarded during the Romania Insider Awards Gala on October 16, 2018, at the InterContinental Hotel in Bucharest.
Nominations are open until August 2018 online for the following categories:
Fair-Play Real Estate Project Award
Most Scalable Social Responsibility Project Award
Best Promotion for Romania Abroad Award
Best Rural Development Project Award
For the first time during an awards event, young employees under 30 will have the opportunity to nominate and vote projects, companies and people they think are valuable to the Romania society. They will do so for the Young Generation’s Award for Contribution to Romanian Society.
“Now more than ever, we need positive models. There are many companies, projects and people who play by the rule, change things for the better, innovate, get involved in the society. We can all draw inspiration from them. We will spread the word about them in Romania and throughout the world via our readers. I believe these prizes, and especially the one given by the young generation, will show us the right path for the society,” said Corina Chirileasa, Founder of Romania-Insider.com and Managing Partner of City Compass Media, the event organizers.
