On 12
December 2012, the most prestigious Principal Prince Claus Award will be
presented to Eloísa Cartonera at the Royal Palace in Amsterdam.
Eloísa Cartonera is an Argentinian co-operative that publishes striking handmade books from recycled materials. Eloísa Cartonera is honoured with the Principal Award because it is an example of innovation, creativity and quality. Ten other artists, thinkers, filmmakers and organisations from countries including Syria, Burma and Somaliland/Somalia are also honoured for their outstanding contribution to culture and development.
Her Majesty the Queen, HRH Prince Willem Alexander, HRH Princess Máxima, HRH Princess Mabel, HRH Prince Constantijn and HRH Princess Laurentien will attend the presentation of the Principal Prince Claus Award. Honorary Chairman HRH Prince Constantijn will present the 2012 Principal Prince Claus Award to Eloísa Cartonera.
Mimeta is at the award ceremony and a lot of other
smaller events during this "summing up the year gathering" in
Amsterdam. We have been among the guests for the last five years and
really appreciate this opportunity to mingle and meet.
