Super Wiktor award for Krzysztof Penderecki
The Wiktory Award TV Academy, which is comprised of the award winners from the last 25 years, granted the golden Super Wiktor statuette for the most outstanding personality to Krzysztof Penderecki.
The past laureates include the greatest Poles of the last quarter of the century: Jan Nowak-Jeziorański, Lech Wałęsa, John Paul II, Andrzej Wajda, Roman Polański, Jerzy Waldorff, Stefan Kisielewski, Gustaw Holoubek, and Czesław Niemen.
The award will be conferred during the Wiktor and Super Wiktor award gala on 24 October at the Royal Castle in Warsaw. In addition to Professor Penderecki, the statuettes will be given to Bronisław Komorowski, the President of the Republic of Poland, and Adam Michnik.
Wiktory awards have been given by the TV Academy since 1985. The idea of the award was first proposed by the TV journalist Józef Węgrzyn. Outstanding television personalities, those whose personality, knowledge or skills became etched in the memory of viewers, are honoured with the award.
