Bronze Zinneke

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bronze Zinneke is an award handed out by the cabinet of the Brussels Region to individuals, personalities, organisations, or companies that perform a role as informal ambassador of the Brussels Region or otherwise add to the positive image of the City and Region of Brussels.

The award is a miniature bronze version of Het Zinneke, a bronze sculpture of a urinating dog in central Brussels. A "zinneke" is a mutt or bastard in Brusselian dialect, a cross between different races of dogs, and as such a symbol of the diversity of races and cultures in Brussels.

The first Bronze Zinneke was awarded in 2001 to singer Johan Verminnen.[1]
