The Irish Lebanese Cultural foundation have announced the names of the awardees of the Cedar Awards 2023, which will be held in Kilkenny.
After a long deliberation Chris DeBurgh, Philip Beale, Roland Mansour and Richard Hearns came up by unanimous vote to be the recipients of the awards this year.
This is a tradition created by the Foundation to honour remarkable personalities of the Lebanese Community and further Cultural achievers who impacted on the promulgation of Lebanese Heritage or the promotion of Lebanon.
The award consists of planting a cedar in Mount Lebanon in their honour and a certificate with the GPS coordinates will be presented at a private ceremony held in Kilkenny in November.
