According to Airin Zainul, Group General Manager of ntv7 & 8TV, Bella Awards 2013 will carry the theme,
“SHE SPARKLES”, in all its promotional activities right down to its look and feel. “Women are like precious gems. Just like a beautiful piece of jewelry which enhances one’s appearance and add colour and pizazz to an outfit, so women add dash and dazzle to the people around her. They not only sparkle from the outside but inner as well with their great contributions to the society,” said Airin during the launch of Bella Awards at Marini’s on 57, KLCC.
Airin also revealed the 7 categories in the awards which include –
Bella Creative Award, Bella Style Award, Bella Beautiful Award, Bella Business Award, Bella Heart Award, Bella Mars Award, and
the ultimate Bella Award.
The Top 5 nominees from each category has been announced in January 2013 where the list was selected by a panel of professional judges. The winners will only be revealed during the LIVE show on 2 March.

“We can’t wait to share with you the list of nominees made up of inspiring women who juggle their roles as career women, as mothers, as wives and yet still find time to give back to the society. This awards show is about bringing awareness to the works of these women so that it will lead to greater opportunities and better ideas. It’s also about generating attention to the charities that are close to the hearts of these women and more importantly, it’s about inspiring other women,” Airin added.
Bella Awards will see a variety of promotional activities happening including a unique
“Bella Workshop” for women in January. Here ladies will get to experience and learn about interesting topics taught by professional speakers. The two-day workshop will also give an opportunity for women to get hands-on lessons which will include the art of self-defense, grooming, and many more. The workshop is designed to inspire and give confidence to women to kick start their way towards improving themselves inside out. It will be conducted in a laid back setting, giving attendees a comfortable and worthwhile experience. The team will also be injecting some fun into the awards show with the introduction of its “Bella Correspondent” search to scout for the most deserving talent as its
“Official Correspondent”. The scouting will take place in the month of December. More information on Bella Workshop and Bella Correspondent will be released soon.
