A MAJOR ORGANISATIONAL CHANGE
The Founders of WAALM have decided to separate WAALM from IFSI Institute. "In order to reduce the workload from IFSI and assist Self-funding of WAALM; we see it better for WAALM to become an independent entity, a non-for-profit company yet acting as the awarding body of Persian Golden Lioness Awards. Also, with view to the current economical climate we have decided to run WAALM bi-annually or whenever there is sufficient funds."
Said Prof. Dorbayani
1st June 2008
CUT THE LONG STORY SHORT
After touring the United States and carefully evaluating all the elements involved, the founders of WAALM were not convinced that the Artistic and Cultural Communities in the US, LA in particular were up to the job to fully support a WAALM International event. Reservation on WAALM's budget and visa obstacles for awardees from Europe and Middle East were among other factors for WAALM to postpone its event in the US until further notice.

WHO WILL HOST THE 3rd WAALM AWARDS?
The discussion on who shall host the 3rd annual awards began in last November. The past two annual awards were hosted by Dr. Marjan Abdi who indeed made a remarkable job but on the recommendation of Dr. Abdi herself, WAALM is in process of nominating new hosts. "While nomination is in progress, re-appointing Marjan to host the 3rd annual awards shall remain an option." said Prof. Dorbayani, Founder of WAALM. Post your comments HERE
THREE CATEGORIES; THREE SPLENDID NIGHTS
The Executive Founders and their team of advisors are examining the possibilities of having the different categories of WAALM Awards on separated nights. In principal there are three major categories of Arts, Literature, and Media and by allocating a complete night per category, WAALM could allow each category to expand in its size, number of awards, and media coverage independently from one another. If this gets approved, you shall expect a three-night splendid black tie and red carpet receptions. Post your comments HERE
