7,000 euros (gross) are at stake for the creation of a new trophy for the Constantin Brâncoveanu Gala, organised annually by the Alexandrion Foundation!
In 2018, the Constantin Brâncoveanu Awards Gala will reach its 5th edition, and the Alexandrion Foundation wishes to welcome it with a new representation, more current and more modern. Accordingly, all sculptors and artists who wish to link their names to the Constantin Brâncoveanu Awards and to give them a new image are invited to enter the creative competition. Entries may be submitted between 13 March and 1 June 2018. The winning work will be selected by a jury made up of specialists in the visual arts and art history, together with representatives of the Alexandrion Foundation.
Description of the creative concept
