This award is a new and unprecedented event that evaluates and presents outstanding initiatives in the fields of medicine, beauty, sports, and healthcare through a unique format called “presentation theater.”
The finalists’ final presentations will be staged as theatrical works, visualizing the background and passion behind their developments as “story experiences.” This brings medical expertise and social value to a wider audience.
This is a participatory award where general attendees can also watch the finalists' final presentations and vote for the initiative that most resonates with them, allowing them to become “judges” themselves.
