Open Call Competition | Finalists and Winners
We are glad to announce finalists and winners of the International Open Call Competition in collaboration with Art Market Magazine and Lens Magazine.
Artists and photographers participating in the competition were invited to interpret the theme of the XIII Florence Biennale, which will be held from 23 to 31 October 2021 at Fortezza da Basso in Florence, Italy, under the high patronage of European Parliament:
ETERNAL FEMININE | ETERNAL CHANGE
Concepts of Femininity in Contemporary Art and Design
We have received a number of high-quality applications and many of them have been assessed at a comparable level. The jury of the competition therefore wanted to make the most of the works that have distinguished themselves particularly and that have stood out in the interpretation of the theme of this XIII edition of the Florence Biennale.
For these reasons it was decided to indicate only fifteen (15) finalists for each category in competition (art and photography), with the aim of giving greater prominence to the selected works. For the same reason, it was decided to select two winners.
We thank all those who participated.
