EnJoy is Winning Awards!
On March 6th and & 7th EnJoy co-produced Phare Into the Future, a live-24 hour Guinness World Record attempt, and virtual fundraising campaign to support Phare Ponleu Selpak, a Cambodian circus and visual art school that serves literally hundreds of families in Cambodia. Globally more than a half of a million people tuned in online to watch the event, and more than $125,000 dollars were raised to support Phare’s educational programs. We’re humbled to announce that in addition to the critical funds raised, and winning a Guinness World Record for Longest Circus Show, Phare Ponleu Selpak and EnJoy Productions have also received three international awards for our innovation and creativity with this event.
We received a Gold and a Silver trophy in the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards, one of the most prestigious business awards in the world, and also a Gold at the Hermes Creative Awards, for our work on this event. Some of the other competitors were global giants like AstraZeneca, Bruce Springsteen, LG, IBM, Pepsi, UNICEF, Hewlett Packard, Manulife, and Reuters. If you aren’t familiar with these awards please take a moment to check out the links below!
Our work with Phare over the last year has been a beacon of hope, driving us forward towards the end of a very long tunnel. It was a labor of love built during a global pandemic, and inspired by the desire to stand in solidarity with our community during times of deep struggle.
Our hope is that these awards will continue to uplift and sustain the spirit of Phare Ponleu Selpak as they continue to fight the COVID crisis, and remind us all that the power of the arts combined with the fire of the human spirit truly has the ability to change lives.

Many thanks to everyone to our partners Phare Ponleu Selpak, Box Clever Creative, and everyone who made this possible!!
A special shout out is in order for Bonnie Steussy & David Edfeldt, who on a whim decided to take motorcycles taxis to see Phare’s circus before leaving Cambodia, and then made the effort to connect us. Just goes to show that even the smallest of gestures can produce gigantic results, and art truly does save lives.
