Kozminski Lions
 

Kozminski Lions (PL: Lwy Koźmińskiego) is an annual competition aimed at awarding KU graduates who have made a spectacular career, which can be an example for other KU students and graduates to follow. The awarded statuette is an expression of recognition of the graduate’s professional achievements and a way to thank them for upholding the good name of Kozminski University.

Kozminski Lions is a special competition, running for many years under the auspices of Prof. Andrzej Koźmiński, President of Kozminski University.

Since 2012, the competition has consisted of three categories:

  • Manager
  • Entrepreneur
  • Lawyer

The chapter of the competition has the right to award a prize in additional categories in a given year. So far, the statuettes have been awarded also in the category of Public Administration and Start-Up.

The competition is held every summer, and the prizewinners are awarded the Kozminski Lions statuettes at the inauguration of a new academic year.

We have awarded 65 prizes so far. The statuette represents a lion sitting on the globe, which is a reproduction of the monument found in front of the main entrance to the university’s premises.
