Description of financial services:

The Deutsche Bank Middle East Foundation will be offering two of its creative awards in Lebanon for the second year in a row, in partnership with Bader Young Entrepreneurs Program.

 

The DB Awards, valued at Euro 10 thousand each, offer practical and financial support to artists, craftspeople, designers and performers to start a business or carry out a project. They come as part of a concentrated effort by Deutsche Bank and Bader to support young talent in Lebanon. 

 

Two projects, one focused on photography and the other on graphic design, were the winners of last year’s awards; one was bestowed by a jury and the other through a public vote through the internet. The jury award went to “Karen & Josette” for their artistic photography, while the public choice award went to “Draw Me a Song”, where artistically designed posters use lyrics as their theme.

 

In addition to the awards, both winners received mentorship and guidance in developing and setting up their business.

2 Prizes of 10,000 Euro each.
