The 3rd GIWA (Greek International Women Awards) took place an hour ago* at the Pierce Theatre within the The American College of Greece compound – a place and name of reference for nearly150 years…

Despite traffic issues and an extended time-wise event, over 300 staunch supporters, including the finalists, presenters and Sophia Konstantopoulou- Vilhelmsen’s team, remained at a special purpose open air “atrium” to eat and drink in honor the Finalists and conversely the Winners for just over 15 categories covering the entire spectrum.
