My advice to the nominees: My advise to the nominees it to be creative and original. Every idea is worth trying if you keep thinking about how to improve and how to influence the industry.

What does respect mean to you? Respect is the most important value in both professional and personal life. Without showing respect to everyone—no matter their status—true success isn't possible.

What does respect mean to you, in your professional or creative life? In this industry, where trust, emotion, and attention to detail matter so much, respect means truly listening to what our clients want and understanding how important their big day is to them. It’s about valuing their culture, style, and ideas—no matter how big or small—and making sure they feel special and understood. As the leading company in Turkey, we’ve worked with people from many different backgrounds and with all kinds of expectations. What helps us handle that variety is respect—treating every event, whether it’s a small gathering or a grand celebration, with the same care, professionalism, and dedication.
