You were blown away last year, but can we do it again?

The answer is YES! We are going to have a CELEBRATION that will be talked about for years to come within the Danish business community and to do that, we need your help!

This year we have, once again, prepared for months and planned an evening full of surprises to take you back to the good ol' days of the 1970s. Drawing on inspiration from the famous club in New York called Studio 54, you can expect disco balls, extravagant performances and a couple surprises along the way as well.

We hope that as many people as possible from across China will be able to come join the party!

HISTORY BEHIND THE AWARD

Many people show outstanding performances in the development of Danish business in China. These achievements often go relatively unnoticed over several years by the general community and are typically performed by very dedicated, but also very modest individuals.

In 2007 the Danish Chamber of Commerce in China therefore instituted the "Business Person of the Year" award to celebrate these individuals with deserved attention. It was followed by a second award "Entrepreneur of the Year" in 2009.

Every year a nomination process will lead to a selection of the three candidates for the two awards. The winners and the other finalists will be announced and celebrated at the award ceremony.

At the award ceremony the winners receive the "Vilhelm Award Statuette". The statuette is named "Vilhelm" after the famous and industrious Danish entrepreneur Vilhelm Meyer who lived and worked in Shanghai from 1900 to 1935.
