On September 4, 2021, the Presentation Evening of the Valore Coraggio Award will take place in Arrone: an extraordinary award that takes on different connotations from the idea of ​​virtue in a broad sense. The recognition that you want to confer is a reward for 360 ° Courage not necessarily linked to striking gestures, but as a witness to accomplished, imagined or hoped-for facts that, too often unnoticed, deserve instead to be recognized. The Award Ceremony, whose I ° International Edition will be organized in July 2022, will have an annual frequency that will see it renewed from time to time in all the pieces that make it up and everything that can be useful for identifying meritorious examples without limitations and borders.

 

An original and unique Award for those who have the courage to be themselves, to enforce their ideas and those of others, for those who expose themselves or for those who remain in the shadows to bring out the value of actions at the expense of their ego, even for those who give up assuming the courage of the consequences of their "not to dare". Already in the Presentation Evening he will enjoy the connotations of Merit which, imbued with the energy and strength of passions, synergies and encounters, will be attributed to those who, in the world, will demonstrate to show them, defend them and celebrate them in every situation of private life and professional. Its internationality will affirm, without any demarcation, the known value, but also the rescue of a sometimes submerged and unknown world that deserves to have feedback and to be illuminated by the spotlight of those who, vigilant, will recognize who is most in tune with being than with appearing. One of the hopes of the project is that the values ​​of the Award described solicit the will of the Italian and international institutions to endeavor to suggest any praiseworthy value - shown and demonstrated in every action, thought, work or even silence - and of Courage - the absolute protagonist of the Award and essential component of the life of each individual.

 

The research and identification of La Palma will urge, throughout the useful time between now and one year, the opening in every possible direction; therefore, suggestions of realities worthy of this extraordinary "Noteworthy" are welcome, especially those who have decided to live life leaving indelible traces. The Value Courage Award was born, will grow and will manifest itself in a reality and for a purpose whose univocal definition will be: Sowing furrows in which secular merits flourish. The Value Courage Award rewards those who make a difference, those who put themselves at the service of an initiative, a need, a cause. Everything revolves around the propulsion inherent in courage itself, which however, even in the absence of a heroic act as we imagine it, will lead to a result otherwise impossible to obtain linked to humanity, feelings, passions, convictions, generosity, to support, attention and love for every commendable aspect of life; a merit to be rewarded because, as Mother Teresa of Calcutta loved to remember, a great person before a saint: "What we do is just a drop in the ocean, but if we didn't do it the ocean would have one drop less ..."

Unless the award's for the job I don't know what it's for. Maybe promoting freedom of the press? Advocating for safety for journalists?

Ah, a guest of honour, not an award recipient.  That makes more sense.
