The theme of the LXVIII 2024 edition is 'Frammenti di Coscienza', in homage to P. Daverio and his personal distinction between those who are sold as artists and those who are artists by nature.

Quality, research, innovation and contemporaneity were the fundamental criteria of the selection. 7 paintings and 9 photographers were selected and will exhibit together with the 'out of competition', composed of the previous winners, at the prestigious venue of the Teatro F. P. Tosti in Ortona (CH) in two dedicated rooms.

This year too, the event will be part of the XX Contemporary Day promoted by AMACI, which coincides with the inauguration date of Saturday 12 October, confirming a combination that has characterized the Award in all the latest editions. The awards ceremony will take place on Saturday 9 November.

Each participant was asked to analyze the theme of this edition and to express it through painting or photography, bringing their personal interpretation to the attention of the public.
