The Fabulous Four: Only 4 Days Left to Apply for the Bridge Awards
It won’t be long: the call for entries for the Bridge Awards officially closes on May 15. The 1st International Bridge Awards honors the contributions of foreign nationals and repatriates to Russia’s prosperity. By recognizing their role in developing Moscow’s cultural and business ties, the award helps them integrate into the country and bring the international community together through cultural diplomacy.
"Just as the Fab Four once revolutionized the music world, these final four days can transform the landscape of international cooperation—if those foreign nationals who have dedicated their lives and careers to Russia take this moment to share their projects and achievements," emphasized Sergei Georgievskii, representative of the award operator and co-founder of the Agency for Strategic Development “CENTER”. "Applying is simple—just fill out the form at bridgeaward.ru."
The jury will convene on May 27 to decide who will top the charts of the Bridge Awards. The panel of experts who will determine the winners includes Alexander Vaino, Director of the "Young Professionals" Division, Agency for Strategic Initiatives; TV presenter Michael Gibson; Pierre Malinowski, Head of the Foundation for the Development of Russian-French Historical Initiatives; Dr. Pierre Monod, Head of Department at Ilyinskaya Hospital; and many other prominent figures.
The grand award ceremony will take place on June 18, where winners across 12 categories will be announced, including Integration and Adaptation, Education and Enlightenment, Sports and Healthy Lifestyle, and Traditional and Family Values. The ceremony will be preceded by a plenary session focused on international cooperation.
The project is supported by the Department for External Economic and International Relations of Moscow and the Moscow Center for International Cooperation. The Agency for Strategic Initiatives serves as the strategic partner of the awards.
The Bridge Awards was initiated by the Bridge Club platform, which brings together over 700 foreign nationals living and working in Moscow, as well as Russian professionals interested in international cooperation. The Bridge Awards was founded by entrepreneur Philip Hutchinson and public figure Guy Eames.
