JUDGING PANEL
ANISA HAGHDADI MBE
Social entrepreneur Anisa is a recipient of the British Empire Medal for her services to education and young people. She set up her first enterprise in Birmingham as a 15-year- old, and has since founded several companies, including Beatfreeks. This award winning business engages young people in arts, training and leadership opportunities.
In addition to being awarded an honorary doctorate from Aston University, she has appeared on the front page of The Observer News Review and has been named one of the 50 New Radicals ‘changing the UK for the better’. Anisa says: “I’m thrilled to be judging the IN:SIGHT finalists representing the creative industries and the rich youth culture we boast in this great city. I’m excited to meet my fellow judges and, most importantly, witness the work these artists have poured themselves into.”
