2026 Awards
The MiCannes Awards Lunch in 2026 will be held on the lawns of the Mondrian Hotel on the Croisette overlooking the Mediterranean sea.
The MiCannes Board created the MiCannes Awards in 2023
And formed a Committee comprising of over 20 International music and entertainment entrepreneurs. Encouraging excellence in the international music scene and inspiring a future echelon of talented creators, the awards aim to also promote creative and business people networking together.
The founders commissioned a young and upcoming sculptor to create a distinctive award – starting with a set of stunning cheetah head trophies. Designed and cast by Knox Field, an emergent British sculptor who specialises in sculpting birds and animals.
Knox cast each award personally and says: “It’s been an absolute honour to be chosen to sculpt these cheetah heads for the MiCannes Awards winners. I hope the recipients get as much pleasure from this sculpture as I got from making it.”
