To mark this special anniversary, we decided to choose a person for a 10-Year Achievement Award. This prize will go to someone who has made lasting contributions. All the nominees, in our opinion, are deserving. The winner will join two others – Business Person of the Year and Spirit of Kyiv – as individual honorees. Each year, nominating people gives us so much optimism about Ukraine’s future because there are so many deserving people that it is hard to pick a winner.
