OPEN Spotlight Award
We launched the OPEN Spotlight Award to shine the spotlight on organizations that have gone through an inspiring journey in which they worked for diversity and inclusion. Our aim is to cultivate an international community of business and experts promoting openness, who inspire each other by sharing stories and knowledge and lead by example to start positive changes on a large scale.

The creative mind behind the OPEN Spotlight Award trophies
Rebeka Rácz
Meet the amazing Hungarian artist who designed the OPEN Spotlight Award trophies this year: Rebeka Rácz! After completing her design and art theory studies, Rebeka Rácz learned the art of ceramics in an autodidact way. Accepting and highlighting randomness and imperfection is important in her work. She approaches design and creation in an unconventional way, her works reflect freedom and character.
