From improving individual lives to tackling global challenges, five changemakers were recognised for proving that creativity can drive real, measurable impact.
The winners of the Creative Heroes Award Czech Republic 2026 were announced on Thursday, 4 June 2026, during a ceremony at Pražská křižovatka in Prague. The award, an initiative of the Netherlands-Czech Chamber of Commerce, recognises individuals who turn creative ideas into meaningful impact.
One winner was selected in each impact category:
1 : 1 – Impact on an individual scale: Martin Souček (Domestici)
1 : 1,000 – Impact on a local scale: Tereza Robinson (Srdcem Robinson)
1 : 100,000 – Impact on a regional scale: Dana Kalistová (Kabinet CB - Circular House CB)
1 : 1,000,000 – Impact on a national scale: Yvette Vašourková (CCEA MOBA)
1 : 1,000,000,000 – Impact on an international scale: Kateřina Komrsková (Molecule 46)
All 15 finalists were first invited on stage for short interviews with moderator Vojtěch Koval, sharing the stories behind their initiatives. Only after these conversations were the winners in each category announced.
In addition to the category winners, the evening concluded with the Creative Superhero Award – a special audience prize. The audience voted among the five category winners to select the individual whose impact and story resonated most strongly.
The Creative Superhero of 2026 is Martin Souček (Domestici).
“Just four years ago, I had no idea what palliative care was. Today, I'm receiving an award for raising awareness and support for it - and honestly, it no longer surprises me how deeply this topic resonates with people. Even though it is connected with the end of life, it is incredibly full of life, humanity, and relationships. Once you get close to it, you realize it teaches you how to spend your time better and recognize what truly matters. And I sincerely wish as many people as possible could experience that,” commented Martin Souček, Creative Superhero 2026.
In a written greeting, President Petr Pavel emphasised the shared responsibility for building a better society:
“I hope that this evening will not only honour these Creative Heroes but also inspire others to contribute to a stronger and more resilient society. After all, this is a responsibility that we all share together.”
The Creative Heroes Award celebrates individuals who challenge the status quo and create positive change – from individual lives to global challenges. The ceremony brought together around 150 guests from business, culture, and civil society.
