Dragons are majestic creatures that have resonated in various cultures, symbolizing 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.

This is why the dragon is the symbol that we have chosen for the Cyprus Business News awards that celebrate young talent, potential and early achievement in business, CBN Young Dragon Awards!

CBN Young Dragon Awards! We vote for and endorse those young professionals – the young dragons – who have set out to conquer the business world, sending a powerful message of inspiration, empowerment and excellence, qualities we aim to recognize and promote in the next generation of business leaders!
