Murex d'Or

The Murex d'Or (also known as the Golden Murex Award) is a Lebanese arts award established in 2000. It was founded by Lebanese physicians Zahi and Fadi Helou to honor achievements in theatre, film, and music in Lebanon, the Arab region, and internationally. The first Murex d'Or ceremony was held on 4 June 2000. The award’s name pays tribute to the Phoenician Murex sea snail, historically used in the production of imperial Tyrian purple.
