Wherever Jews settled in the world, artists and thinkers created new traditions and interpretations that enriched Jewish life and responded to contemporary challenges. This creativity enabled successive generations to discover the beauty of Judaism and draw on its resources to imagine new futures. Today, as ever, we need artists and cultural producers to lead the way, harnessing creativity, imagination and courage to shape the Jewish future and more just and democratic societies. The [Mandel Cultural Leadership Program](https://mandelinstitute.org/programs/cultural-leadership/) is a fellowship for artists and producers who aim to reimagine Jewish life and galvanize action on a range of social issues through their creative work. The two-year fellowship includes an educational program, support from an adviser, and a $40k stipend to advance a project.

The European Art Award for Painting and Graphic Arts in the Context of Mental Disability

The Augustinum Stiftung has awarded the euward every three years since 2000\. This distinction is the most important award internationally for art in the context of mental disability. Its goal is to promote unknown artists and to make their creativity accessible to the public.

The art of persons with a mental disability has developed strongly in recent years. Alongside the tradition of “Art Brut” or “[Outsider Art](https://www.euward.de/en/euward/uebersicht/en/euward/outsider-art/)”, it now forms a new artistic scene. “Supervised studios” often provide the conditions that the talents need to realise themselves as freelance artists.

euward’s aspiration is to reveal the artistic quality in the work of these cultural outsiders. The award makes clear their importance for our culture. Their artistic creations are a vital impulse in contemporary art. Purely social aspects do not play a role.

A jury of renowned professionals chooses three prizewinners from entries submitted from across Europe. They receive an exhibition of their works in the Haus der Kunst in Munich. They are also supported with cash prizes and a catalogue of their works, totalling €25,000 in value.

European Art Prize 2023

The Center for Iberian Studies - Centro de Estudos Ibéricos (CEI)- remains committed to strengthening the cultural and scientific axis organized by Coimbra, Guarda and Salamanca and, through an active involvement in territorial cooperation, committed to low density territories, particularly the most peripheral and border ones. Based on these references and on the importance of image in contemporary societies, the project Transversalities: Photographs without Frontiers uses photography as a means of promoting the inclusion of territories and breaking with processes of exclusion to which vast areas of the planet are subjected by the media.

  
Pursuing objectives that coincide with those that guide CEI's work, this Photography without Borders contest contributes to overcoming the artificial borders that are imposed between communities, peoples and cultures. The call for submissions that portray spaces beyond and beyond borders, scattered across the various continents, aims, by documenting the diversity of Territories, Societies and Cultures, to read and interpret the multiplicity of natural, economic, social and cultural landscapes that are scattered across the vast geographies of the planet. In a project that uses image as a means to promote territorial cooperation, the following issues are privileged:

* taking advantage of the aesthetic, documentary and pedagogical value of the image to promote the inclusion of less visible territories, inventory resources, enhance local landscapes, cultures and heritage;
* to promote cooperation between people, institutions and territories, from here and from abroad, to encourage the exchange of experiences and knowledge between spaces united by the common Iberian matrix, spread across different countries and several continents;
* to form new audiences and use new communication technologies as a privileged means of communication, appealing to the participation of young university students and, in this way, to widen the international network of researchers that is being organised from the CEI.

  
### Themes

The pictures collected under this contest should portray the diversity of territories, societies and cultures of different continents in order to allow crossed looks on the changes which are taking place in different parts of the world, show different styles of social organization and space, capture signs of continuity and change, archaisms and innovations that manifest themselves in the most populous cities or rural areas, located in the most remote and distant and areas, which are facing depopulation. The interpretation of the natural, economic, social and cultural landscapes validated in photos will make them an important component of territorial cooperation, as they are valuable resources of promoting the inclusion of remote and less visible regions.

Photos must allude to one of the following subjects:

1. Landscapes, biodiversity and natural heritage (Natural resources and risks; use, management and planning of natural areas; diversity of contexts and intercourse between man and the environment, etc.).
2. Rural areas, agriculture and settlement (Goods and agricultural products, organization of rural areas; places and rural architecture, mobility, etc.).
3. The city and the urbanization process (City, architecture, regeneration and urbanization processes; landscapes, urban environments and experiences, etc.).
4. Culture and society: cultural diversity and social inclusion (Constructed legacy and cultural heritage, ways of life and social conditions; fight against poverty and social exclusion, etc.)

  

Of all participants and photos submitted to the competition will be selected and awarded the following:

General Awards:

1. The Overall Winner (1) for the best and most complete submitted portfolio will receive a prize money of 1500 Euros.
2. The Winner of each theme (4) for the best and most complete portfolio will receive 750 Euros.
3. The Jury will also award up to 12 portfolios, being each one awarded with 150 Euros.

  
Special Awards:

1. To a Portuguese contestant - FUJI Support - in the amount of EUR 300,00 (three hundred euros), in exclusive equipment voucher of the brand FUJIFILM X or GFX
2. For a competitor from the Portuguese Speaking African Countries (PALOP) - CEI Support -, in the amount of Euro 300.00 (three hundred euros)
