Ardent awards – 6th edition

The Ardent Awards

Since 2016, Ardent Group has organized the Ardent Awards to support and rewards projects that respond to current societal problems.

Each year, non-profit organizations in the region can submit their new projects in one of the five categories supported by the Prix Ardent: childhood, integration, family, well-being, and disability.

Five entities are selected by a jury to receive a 10.000€ grant to pursue their project.

Since 2020, a new category rewards a municipality of Liège with a grant of 25.000€ to realize a project aimed at improving the well-being of their citizens.

More than an award, it’s a full journey of community engagement and storytelling designed to shine a light on local initiatives.

From Call to Celebration

Folks manages the entire process – from the launch of the call for projects to the final award ceremony.

We develop the emailing campaign, coordinate communication towards the organizations, and ensure a seamless experience for all participants.

  • Call for Projects — Non-profits apply in one of five categories: childhood, integration, family, well-being, or disability.

  • Public Voting — Citizens vote online for their favorite projects through a campaign designed and activated by Folks.

  • Jury & Ceremony — A professional jury selects the five winners, celebrated during a warm, inspiring event produced by our team.

The 6th edition

After organizing the awards for 6 years now, we had to challenge ourselves to bring a new aspect to this edition and make it even more inclusive.

This year we aimed to include even more associations in the whole process of the event, that’s why we partnered up with Cap Event, a catering company enabling adults with disabilities to play an active role in society.

The nominees were also invited to the ceremony and got to showcase their projects via short videos capsules that we filmed beforehand, in each of their location.

A meaningful partnership

Communication, once again, was key. This event is a year-long process with a lot of preparation before the actual evening of the awards.

Our goal : to turn this CSR initiative into a powerful communication platform that connects people, values and purpose.
