In 2019, 100 years after Margot Fonteyn's birth in 1919, MFAB launched a new recognition in the form of an award called the Fonteyn Centenary. Only a few awards are given each year and will be given for 100 years until 2119. The award is given to individuals who have dedicated their lives to culture, fine art and the maintenance of the highest quality of culture. During Fonteyn Celebration Week, the Awards Ceremony is held in conjunction with a banquet.
