Il-Premju tal-President għall-Kreattività is one of a series of initiatives aimed at strengthening inclusivity, community development and well-being through cultural participation and creative expression. The programme forms part of a diverse portfolio of schemes and initiatives to maximise the potential of Malta’s creative growth by encouraging engagement in the cultural sectors, facilitating cultural exchange, and championing cultural rights.
