Emerging artists, opera houses, dance companies, festivals and cultural organisations from across Europe are invited to submit innovative projects in the fields of opera and dance. 

The FEDORA Prizes Biennale supports the development of artistic productions and initiatives that contribute to the evolution of the performing arts sector through creativity, collaboration and innovation:

• FEDORA – VAN CLEEF & ARPELS Dance Prize (€100,000) - awarding new dance productions that reimagine the art of dance for the 21st century by supporting new experimental dance creations created by promising teams of emerging artists with the ambition to reach international audiences.

• FEDORA Education Prize (€50,000) - awarding innovative and educational projects that expand access to opera and dance, encourage the involvement of new and wider audiences, particularly local communities and underprivileged groups, and foster social integration, social-emotional learning, mutual understanding, and respect in today’s society.

• FEDORA - KEARNEY Digital Prize (€50,000) - awarding projects that explore new forms of artistic expression and access to opera and dance through digital innovation, advocate novel ways of interacting with audiences across media using digital tools and performance, and foster interdisciplinary dialogue by triggering new collaborative approaches.
