Suhad Jarrar was also one of the winners, collecting the prize for the Palestinian Costume Preservation Award for her exhibition showcasing a historical collection of Palestinian garments, in addition to the tools used to preserve and restore them.
Palestinian Youtuber, Basil El-Haj, won the Palestinian Cuisine Award for his outstanding episode on the largest maklouba (meaning ‘upside-down’- a dish containing meat, rice, and fried vegetables), which was organized by the PFB, with the episode achieving millions of views.
The PFB also presented the Palestinian Music Award to Forsen, a Dabkeh troupe of British men of Palestinian origin.
