An Unforgettable Evening at the SWANN Awards 2026 During the Cannes Festival

SWANN Awards 2026

There are evenings that leave a lasting impression long after the final applause. The latest edition of the SWANN Awards 2026, held during the prestigious Festival de Cannes at the iconic Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic Cannes, was undoubtedly one of those extraordinary moments.

For the Jackson Family Foundation Group, it was a true privilege to be part of such an elegant celebration, bringing together remarkable personalities from the worlds of philanthropy, media, arts, and business.

The evening was brilliantly hosted and presented by Yves Denis and Charlotte Rosier, whose charisma, professionalism, and warmth perfectly reflected the spirit of the SWANN Awards. Alongside them, Véronique Denis and the entire team behind Dandy Magazine once again demonstrated their talent for creating an atmosphere where sophistication meets authenticity.

One of the greatest gifts of the evening was the opportunity to meet and exchange with truly inspiring individuals. Among them were Mary De Vivo, Michel Soyer, Sir Ben Ivanson, Mani Nordine, HRH May Liu, members of The Distingués, and many other distinguished guests who contributed to making the event such a memorable success.

The SWANN Awards are not simply about recognition; they celebrate human connections, shared values, and the power of bringing people together for meaningful causes.

The charity auction was another highlight of the evening. A beautiful painting by Maud Thomas and a vintage Michael Jackson photograph found new homes through the generosity of the attendees. Beyond the results themselves, what truly stood out was the exceptional quality and generosity of the audience. The elegance, kindness, and enthusiasm displayed throughout the evening were simply remarkable.

We were also delighted to be accompanied by Sergio Cortés, internationally recognised as the official Michael Jackson tribute artist, whose presence brought an additional touch of magic to the event and allowed us to share the ongoing missions of the Jackson Family Foundation Group with an even wider audience.

As the Festival de Cannes continues to shine a spotlight on creativity and excellence, the conversations and collaborations initiated during the SWANN Awards are still resonating. The press coverage surrounding the event continues, extending the reach of its message far beyond the Riviera.

Moments like these remind us why we do what we do. They reaffirm our belief that through culture, philanthropy, and genuine human connection, we can inspire positive change.

To everyone who contributed to the success of this spectacular evening — organisers, partners, guests, artists, volunteers, members of the press, and supporters — we extend our deepest gratitude.

Thank you for your trust, your generosity, and your commitment.

We leave Cannes with wonderful memories, renewed inspiration, and the certainty that this is only the beginning of many more extraordinary collaborations to come.

Until next year, thank you, SWANN Awards.
