Artist, designer and filmmaker, Khaled Jarrar, designed the awards’ trophy inspired by the Palestine Sunbird. This bird has been pushed out of the diminishing green spaces in Palestine to urban overcrowded spaces. Against all odds, the bird managed to stay alive and cope outside of its natural habitat. This small Palestinian bird has become a symbol of resistance and resilience.
