What are the Crystal Awards?

The Crystal Awards, presented annually at the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos, celebrate exceptional artists and cultural leaders who have made a significant impact on improving the state of the world.

Named for their symbolic representation of transparency and resilience, the Crystal Awards emphasize the transformative role of creativity in fostering a better future. By celebrating the contributions of artists and cultural pioneers, the Forum aims to highlight how diverse voices and creative expressions are essential in shaping a more inclusive, sustainable, and compassionate world.
