It zooms in on the creative process itself and on the people behind new concepts and innovations that have sustainable positive impact on people, society, and the environment.

Veronika Mašková Šibůrková who created the project ‘Messages on the Body’ / ‘Vzkazy na těle’, winner of the Creative Superhero award said: “When I was heading to the Creative Heroes Award 2024 on Thursday 17th October, I felt very nervous, but I was also looking forward to meeting a lot of interesting people. I never dreamed I would win the 1:1 category, and winning the Creative Superhero title was totally unexpected. These awards mark another important milestone for me. They give me the motivation to continue my work and I believe they will help me reach out to those who had not heard about my project until Thursday evening. I really appreciate all the new collaborations. I very much appreciate the offer from Good Daddy, last year's winner, which will allow me to make contact with parents of self-harming children.”

Wiegert Smallegange, Director of The Netherlands-Czech Chamber of Commerce, organisers of the Creative Heroes Award Czech Republic, added: “With this award, we want to elevate the people that have used their creative ideas to help others. Either one at a time, or by creating solutions that impact more people at once. This year’s finalists are all examples of this. Often these people stay in the background, while we idolize celebrities. But these creative heroes can serve as role models for all of us. This is why we 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.”
