The first edition of the Matei Brâncoveanu Awards set out to complement the Constantin Brâncoveanu distinctions awarded to the seniors of Romanian culture. The Matei Brâncoveanu Awards Gala, organised by Alexandrion Foundation, is therefore addressed to the young talents and hopes of culture and the arts. At the first edition of these Awards, held on 9 December 2015, distinctions were presented in eight fields: literature, visual arts, theatre, film, dance, classical music, pop/jazz music and the socio-human sciences. The event was held at Vox Cafe in Bucharest.
The President of Alexandrion Foundation and founder of Alexandrion Group, Nawaf Salameh, promised that this event would not be a one-off: “I hope the awards will continue for many years to come and become a nursery for the Constantin Brâncoveanu Awards. We congratulate you on your work in the arts and literature in an internet world in which we hardly have time any more to pick up a book,” said Nawaf Salameh.
