Thanking volunteers: Ukrainians are invited to nominate them for the VARTI Award

Charitable foundations, public organizations, and volunteers providing assistance during the full-scale war can receive the Varti Award from Nova Post.

The first qualifying round will run from February 20 to March 3.

To submit your nominees, fill out a short form on the project website:

  • 1
    Write the name of the volunteer or organization;
  • 2
    Select one of 12 categories, such as “rescue and evacuation” or “do-it-yourself help”;
  • 3
    Provide contact details of the nominee;
  • 4
    Explain why this volunteer or team should receive the award.

Once the applications have been collected, the hosts will publish a short list of organizations, foundations, and volunteers that have been suggested most often.

During the second stage, Ukrainians will vote for one nominee in each category. Thus, 12 winners will be selected.

How will the winners of the Nova Poshta Humanitarian be selected?

The regular recipients of the Nova Poshta Humanitarian services will also receive the Varti Award. This program has been operating since 2014 and allows volunteers to transport humanitarian goods free of charge.

21 organizations and foundations will be selected by the volume of shipments and other indicators within the Nova Poshta Humanitarian.

«Ukrainian volunteers are always on the move. They push forward despite fatigue and difficulties. They make massive efforts and help because they cannot do otherwise. Today, over 2000 organizations and foundations use the services of the Nova Poshta Humanitarian. Last year alone, they sent 64 thousand tons of humanitarian aid. Meanwhile, there is still so much work being done behind the scenes! That's why the Varti Award is first and foremost about our gratitude to them,»

said Inna Popereshniuk, co-founder of Nova Post.

The Varti Award: gratitude and support
