A completely new global film award that will guide us to the future: the AURORA, a tall, luminous statuette of a rising feminine silhouette made of translucent crystal infused with gold veins, holding aloft a radiant, multifaceted prism that refracts light into a full spectrum when lit from below.

Why this symbol works perfectly for global excellence in filmmaking:

• Aurora (the dawn / polar lights) is one of the only natural phenomena that can be seen on every inhabited continent (northern & southern lights, plus equatorial auroras during solar maxima). It is truly planetary, belonging to no single culture — unlike the palm, lion, bear, knight, mask, or globe that dominate current awards.

• It represents the moment light returns after total darkness — the exact emotional core of cinema: we sit in a dark room and wait for light to tell us a story. Every great film is a new dawn.

• The prism she holds symbolizes diversity of vision: white light (truth/reality) enters the filmmaker’s lens and exits as a full rainbow of human experience — comedy, horror, drama, fantasy, documentary, animation, experimental — all equally valid.

• Unlike every existing major trophy, which is opaque gold/bronze, this one is translucent and refractive. On stage under spotlights it would explode with color across the entire theater — a living, breathing light show that changes depending on the angle. No other film trophy in history does this. It will be instantly iconic.

• The feminine silhouette is deliberately universal and androgynous-leaning (long flowing lines that could read as hair, robe, or flame), honoring the many cultures where dawn is personified as female (Aurora, Eos, Ushas, Amaterasu, etc.).​
