The Hearts of Gold Award Cyprus is a way to thank those children and adults which are extra special in some way. Members of the public can nominate people each year, that they feel are deserving and the winners are chosen by a panel of judges.

There are four awards in the 2016 programme and they are all philanthropic, community-based awards which aim to recognise those who have shown tremendous courage, strength and determination, worked tirelessly within the community or for charities, overcome tragedies with a smile or have simply been a great help and support to neighbours and friends.

This year’s annual Hearts of Gold Award ceremony will be held at Palia Ilektriki Cultural Centre in Paphos on Friday December 9th. Nominees and their families will be invited to attend the ceremony.
Entertainment will be provided by the Paphos Zingers and George Michaelides who will represent Cyprus at Junior Eurovision in Malta on November 20.Father Christmas will also be making an appearance with gifts for the children.

All nominees will be given a certificate and a flower.

The winner of the adult and junior Heart of Gold Award will receive a solid gold pin, hand crafted by Aphrodite Jewelers, a certificate and a bouquet of flowers.
The adult winner will also receive a weekend stay and dinner at the five star luxury Almyra Hotel.
The Lifetime Achievement Award (Gifted by Flybynite Media) and Jasmitha Award for Courage (gifted by Kivotos Gallery) winners will also receive certificates, flowers and awards.
Both winners in the adult section will also win a large box of artisan chocolates from Joulietta Chocolatier and winners in the children’s section will take home special junior hampers.
Refreshments will also be provided and as space is limited, this is an invitation only event.
