While past winners of awards will be strong contenders, the Decade Awards also open the door to nominees who have shaped the competitive landscape – whether or not they’ve previously taken home a trophy. Broadcasting live from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the ceremony will bestow winners with awards titles ‘of the Decade’, rather than the traditional ‘of the Year’.
