Matei Brâncoveanu Awards Gala
Select edition:Launched in 2015 by the Alexandrion Foundation, the Matei Brâncoveanu Awards honor the memory of Matei Brâncoveanu, the youngest son of Constantin Brâncoveanu, who, at only 14 years old, was martyred alongside his father and brothers. His courage and sacrifice remain a symbol of faith, resilience, and integrity.
Dedicated to the younger generation, these awards recognize emerging talents at the beginning of their careers—individuals who have already achieved remarkable accomplishments or who are leading projects with exceptional potential for growth. The Matei Brâncoveanu Awards are not only a tribute to the past but also an investment in the future, supporting those who will shape tomorrow’s cultural, scientific, and social landscape.
Why?
2020 is the year of change and repositioning of the value of those who know how to and can inspire the communities they are part of. The Alexandrion Foundation has already organized four editions of the Matei Brâncoveanu Awards Gala, dedicated to young people who actively contribute to the development of our society and become real role models for their generation.
How are the awards granted?
Matei Brâncoveanu Awards Gala 2020 proposes for the first time a unique online event format that involves five well known professionals, with broad experience in their areas of expertise, in the selection of the candidates and gives the public the mission to choose the winner of the grand prize. The candidates no longer subscribe to pre-defined fields (music, education, cinema, etc.), but are awarded for the combination of talent, social involvement and creativity, which generates projects that have the potential to change the Romania of tomorrow.
