THE Al Mar’a Excellence Awards, the first-of-its-kind in the Sultanate, honoured women achievers across different fields at a glittering event at The Amphitheatre, Shangri-La’s Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa on December 5.
The event was held under the auspices of Her Highness Sayyida Dr Muna bint Fahd al Said, Assistant Vice-Chancellor for External Co-operation, Sultan Qaboos University. A number of other dignitaries and the who’s who of Muscat were also present at the event.
The awards were presented across 12 categories; namely: Corporate Leadership, Fashion Design, Performing Arts, Fine Arts, Educational Services, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Health Services, Science and Industry, Technology, Sports, Petroleum Services and Social Responsibility. Apart from these, two women were also the recipients of the prestigious Woman of the Year and Most Promising Woman of the Year Awards. Special Awards were also given to four women who have made significant contributions in the fields they have chosen to be in.
The Awards were judged on the basis of nominations received which were then reviewed by a panel of esteemed judges and the final ranking process was appraised by Ernst & Young. The Awards judged women on the basis of criteria like innovation and creativity, the impact their contributions have had in society, leadership abilities and the goals achieved.
The red carpet event also featured some dazzling entertainment choreographed by Emanuel Castis, a talented international vocalist with many music awards to his credit.
The ceremony was a wonderful platform that only felicitated women achievers; but also revealed the passion and inspiration of women who have aspired to attain great accomplishments in their chosen fields and have gone that ‘extra mile’ to turn their dreams into reality.
