The award encourages those who deliver effective marketing campaigns addressing socially significant issues.

The documentary project of the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation that won within The Drum Awards is presented in the multimedia space of the Museum of Civilian Voices at the location of the Museum of the History of the City of Kyiv. It is based on the real diaries of Kateryna Savenko and Volodymyr Velychko from Mariupol — testimonies of people with different destinies who, through personal writings, conveyed the tragedy of the war firsthand. Kateryna began writing on February 24, 2022, and kept her diary until the death of her husband and her own fatal injury. Two notebooks covering the last 39 days of her life were preserved by her mother. This diary is part of the archive of the Museum of Civilian Voices. The multimedia implementation of the project was carried out by the Port of Culture team.

The exhibition is currently open at:  7 Bohdana Khmelnytskoho Street, Kyiv.
The exhibition will run until the end of December 2025. Make sure to visit.
