A highlight of the evening was the presentation of the award for Most Popular Actor of the Wilam Horzyca Theatre, which was awarded to Arkadiusz Walesiak for the second consecutive year, following a public vote.

The statuette was presented by Wojciech B. Sobieszak, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Cereal Partners Poland Toruń-Pacific. The company has supported the Wilamy Gala for many years and is a regular partner of this unique event, which has become an important part of Toruń’s cultural life.

“It was a great pleasure for me to present this award to Arkadiusz Walesiak for the second year in a row. It is a clear sign of the audience’s appreciation for his talent, dedication and artistic consistency,” said Wojciech B. Sobieszak.

The gala also honoured Katarzyna Wiśniewska (Theatre Education), Grzegorz Panasiuk (Friend of the Theatre), and Joanna Rozkosz, who received the title of Most Popular Actress of the Wilam Horzyca Theatre.

The Great Wilam Award, the evening’s special distinction, was presented to Paweł Tchórzelski, an actor associated with the theatre for more than four decades and one of the people who helped shape the artistic history of the Toruń stage.

The long-standing presence of Cereal Partners Poland Toruń-Pacific at the Wilamy Gala highlights the importance of cooperation between business and cultural institutions, as well as support for initiatives that strengthen local identity and community development.
