This has been great start to 2010 for FutureEverything with the news that we have been awarded the prestigious Lever Prize 2010. This is the second year in a row we have been in contention for this major award, as we were runners up in 2009, and winner in 2010.
Lever Prize 2010 Ceremony
The quality of the other shortlisted organisations was phenomenal, so we were delighted to walk away as winner. The Lever Prize is awarded by top business leaders following a rigorous selection process, which includes a Dragon’s Den-style interview with CEOs of international companies. This makes it more special, as we have long had fantastic support within the arts community, and for business leaders to also give such a strong vote of support shows that we must be doing something right.
Success in the Lever Prize is the cherry on the cake in what is already an incredible time for us.
FutureEverything has transformed in the last few years, moving from the outer fringes of cutting edge digital culture, into centre stage. And we have been able to do this without compromising our vision or our edge. This is because the world has moved closer to us, giving us the opportunity to work with more people at a bigger scale.
The new name, FutureEverything, captures our broader vision and ambition. The new name makes it easier for people to understand what it is we do. As a result more people seem to want to work with us.
The Lever Prize is a prestigious award of international significance awarded by CEOs of global companies based in England’s North West. In addition to the trophy and £10,000 cash prize, we now have the opportunity to work with a list of top businesses, which includes leaders in areas close to our own heart, such as architecture and mobile communications.
The snow was not able to disrupt the ceremony, which took place on the day of heaviest snowfall in the UK for 25 years. This just gave us a great photo opportunity, which is why there is a snowman on the shoulder of the Lever Prize CEO, Geoffrey Piper.
This award belongs to everyone in FutureEverything’s community, all our friends, artists and partners, its yours too!
