Inspiring the Awards’ philosophy, dragons are majestic creatures that have resonated in various cultures, symbolising many elements, amongst which the most prevalent are power, strength, wisdom, luck, knowledge, hope and rebirth.

The symbol of the dragon encourages self-discovery and personal growth, urging individuals to embrace their inner power and release their true potential. The dragon embodies the journey of transformation, which empowers them to rise above all limitations and obstacles.

Dragons are full of confidence yet, at the same time, they demonstrate compassion and grace and this is exactly why the dragon is the symbol that we have chosen for the Cyprus Business News awards
