DAME DESIGN AWARD CHARITY
Every year, the DAME Awards' total registration fees are contributed to a designated charity, serving as the METSTRADE community's gesture of giving back to society. The METSTRADE Exhibition Committee carefully chooses a charity to receive these funds annually, which may include a single charity or two different ones. In 2023, it has been decided by the METSTRADE Exhibition Committee that the proceeds from the DAME Awards will be donated to The Magenta Project, a passionate collective working towards greater equity and inclusion in sailing, with a focus on gender.
