Queen Mathilde Award 2019

9 May 2019

Queen Mathilde handed out her annual award at the royal palace in Brussels.

For the third year in a row, the theme of the Queen Mathilde Award was "Music Connects": music as a means to improve the lives of young people by emancipating them, alleviating trauma or creating a support network.

The winner, Muzass, was selected from 19 projects who each receive a financial support of € 10,000.  The winner receives an extra € 10,000.

Before the official ceremony took place at the royal palace, the Queen attended a meeting with representatives of the candidate winners and members of the youth jury, at the King Baudouin Foundation.
