After a forced, but very much appreciated online edition in 2021, the culture lovers were able to physically meet again this year. About 600 enthusiastic guests gathered in deSingel in Antwerp for the presentation of the Flemish Culture Awards: the Ultimas.


Twelve laureates and a public winner became the happy owners of the renewed Ultima award: Tintin's Jungle, created by artist Daan Gielis. In addition to the coveted award, they also received a nice cash prize.


The Ultima for General Cultural Merit was awarded posthumously to theater icon Reinhilde Decleir, who recently passed away after a long battle with cancer. Like all other laureates, Decleir was told in advance that she had been awarded for her career. During the show she received a beautiful tribute from, among others, her theater company, Tutti Fratelli.


Just like last year, hosts Sofie Lemaire and Thomas Vanderveken talked the show together with grace.


Award shows are always a challenge, but Sylvester's experienced team turned it into an exciting and surprising live show that was broadcast on Radio 1 and VRT.NU. The hour and a half flew by with the catchy tribute to Reinhilde Decleir as the climax.
