Why THE
Creative
Heroes
award?

"It is the power of creative thinking that will lead us out of any crisis. Creativity generates the necessary energy for innovation. Without innovation, there is no impact. Without sustainable positive impact, society, its people, and the environment in which they live cannot thrive."
 
Bastiaan Brouns, Founder of the Creative Heroes Award Czech Republic
With this award, we want to elevate the individuals behind creative impact. Actual people that have transitioned their creative ideas into real solutions that have had a positive impact on others. Often these people stay in the background, while we idolize celebrities. The real heroes can serve as role models for all of us. That is why we want to give them an award: to congratulate them on what they have achieved, to thank them for their contribution to society, to motivate them to keep going and to be an example for others to follow.

Who is a Creative Hero?

Society is changing rapidly and needs flexible, responsive professionals with skills that suit the 21st century. A Creative Hero is the embodiment of the positive impact that has been realised. We believe that by rewarding the leading person, we reward the source of the new status quo or these people’s courage to stand up for a change in this world.

What is Impact?

Do the activities (now or soon) of the creative hero result in a change that represents a new positive status quo for people, the environment or society?
In addition to an economic interest (a new status quo must have a solid business case to have the right to exist), a new status quo must also serve people, the environment or society.
