Bali’s Fab40 – The total 40 awardees were handpicked by Savaya Bali and The Yak – ideal judges due to their combined knowledge of the people who consistently inspire and lead.

Obviously there are many others that should also have been awarded but we had to stop somewhere…

Enjoy the party and lets give thanks to beautiful Bali!!
