THE LIST AWARDS 2024: Celebrating Excellence Across Diverse Sectors
After months of dedicated preparation, resource gathering, and a shared vision, we are thrilled to present the winners of THE LIST AWARDS 2024! This year’s ceremony, the third edition since the awards were inaugurated in 2022, once again united remarkable personalities from various sectors under one roof, creating an unforgettable night of celebration and acknowledgment.
Since its inception, THE LIST AWARDS has grown from a vision into an annual highlight, capturing the attention and admiration of audiences for its unique ability to recognize excellence within our communities. The success of the first edition in 2022 proved that THE LIST AWARDS wasn’t just another award show—it was a rising force, cemented further by the even greater acclaim and expanded categories in 2023. Now, in 2024, with 27 award categories, we’ve achieved a new milestone, celebrating both the driven and the distinguished.
This year’s categories include both public-voted and special recognition awards. Notably, the Pathfinder Excellence Award, Community Service Awards, and Icon of Excellence in Music Award are prestigious, non-voted honors that reflect the values and ideals of iSEE Magazine. These categories spotlight individuals and organizations dedicated to elevating others and making significant contributions to their communities. The Pathfinder Excellence Award, in particular, is reserved for individuals who embody a selfless commitment to uplifting others, an accolade bestowed solely at the discretion of the CEO of iSEE Magazine.
Each recipient left with a well-deserved award plaque, symbolizing their unique contributions to their industries and communities. From Healthcare Excellence to Youth of the Year, Fashion to Entrepreneurship, Social Influence to Community Service, these honorees exemplify the values of leadership, dedication, and excellence.
Due to time constraints, the Best Dressed Male and Female of the Day categories were unfortunately not determined, and no award was given this year. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and promise to ensure that these categories are duly observed in future editions. That said, we would like to extend our compliments to all attendees for their fantastic outfits. The sense of style and elegance on display was truly outstanding, and you all helped to make the event even more glamorous.
