5 – WHAT ARE THE JURY’S EXPECTATIONS?

It is difficult to draw up an objective list of criteria. However, applicants are asked to pay particular attention to:

– the environmental impact of the creation of the work,

– the aesthetic value of the work to be created,

– the conditions of participation of the chosen group of young people, which must be documented, even if only succinctly,

– The adequacy between the project described and the budget.

6 – FORMAT AND SENDING OF APPLICATIONS:

Applications must be submitted in A4 format.

Applicants are not authorized to use the Foundation’s logo.

All documents must be combined in a single pdf file, in the order indicated in section 4 above.

If the file is too large, please reduce it to a zip file.

No acknowledgement of receipt of the application will be sent.

7 – NUMBER OF PRIZES:
The Foundation could select five projects for grants.

8 – FUTURE OF SELECTED PROJECTS:

The Foundation will endeavor to exhibit the prize-winning projects in 2025, without being able to make a firm commitment to do so. In the same way, the Foundation may publish a book (paper and/or electronic) documenting the prize-winning projects and, in general, ensure communication around the prize-winning projects. The works created thanks to the Foundation’s prize remain the property of the artists. The artists whose projects have been selected for a prize undertake to mention the name of the Foundation and the support they have received each time they exhibit or communicate about the work created thanks to the Foundation.
