Nominujte se i budite jedinstveni!
Nagrada BalkanSpa Summit Award biće dodeljena po prvi put ove godine na 6. BalkanSpa Summitu! Ovom nagradom želimo da istaknemo sve one koji se izdvajaju hrabrošću, radoznalošću i spremnošću na rizik.
Jer bez rizika nema uspeha! Ni u životu, ni u poslu.
Zato ne oklevajte da se nominujete. Iskoristite priliku da budete dva puta prvi: prvi među jednakima i prvi pobednik u istoriji BalkanSpa Samita. Žao nam je što ova stranica još nije spremna za nominaciju – dosta smo radili na njoj, ali nam ostaje da uradimo “sitnice” koje će je učiniti zaista jedinstvenom.
Za sada predstavljamo kategorije i kriterijume nagrada u nadi da će vam ove informacije pomoći da donesete odluku o nominaciji.
Hvala vam na razumevanju.
