BENHOODE FOUNDATION AWARD
Founded in 2016 by Behnood Javaherpour, the Behnoode Foundation is a Paris-based organization committed to supporting artists through various initiatives, such as publications, institution exhibitions, public programming, and art residency projects.
The foundation’s mission is to broaden the artistic experience and create a global community through educational platforms where young artists, who may face difficulties accessing international arts and cultural programs, can showcase their work and exchange ideas. In order to support this mission, the foundation offers scholarships for educational programs.
The Behnoode Foundation invites artists and curators to participate in cultural and artistic events while also providing an educational platform for children in Nepal and Africa. In these underprivileged areas, the foundation builds schools to ensure that quality education is accessible for all.
The foundation believes that education is essential and makes it a priority to support and provide access to quality education for those who may not have the means to obtain it otherwise.
NICE (HE)ART PRIZE AWARD
The goal of the prize is the acquisition of an artwork, selected from those displayed at the fair’s stands, to be included in the Operæ Collection.
The chosen piece will be determined by a jury composed of collector and Operæ founder Emilio Bordoli, Operæ CEO and art consultant Gloria Amorena, curator Lorenzo Bruni, and collector Chiara Casolo Ginelli.
The prize does not impose any age or technique restrictions, but its aim is to identify and acquire a work that reflects the core values of the Operæ initiative, which was created by collectors for collectors. Specifically, the values sought are communicative creativity, empathy towards the viewer, and the strength of the message conveyed.
A central value of Operæ – the most widespread system for collection archiving and management on smartphones and tablets – is the desire to share and communicate the value of one’s collection. Above all, the jury will look for an optimistic and positive attitude, which, particularly in these challenging times – socially, historically, and geopolitically – should permeate the world of art and creative production.

COMMITTEE “PDA AMORE E COLORE” AWARD
The committee established in memory of Piero D’Amore, a Turin-based artist who passed away in January 2022, offers a prize consisting of a one-month residency in Turin for an artist under the age of 35 participating in the fair, with an exhibition at the following year’s The Others to showcase the project created during the residency.
Now in its third edition, the prize aims to highlight an artist for the continuity, coherence, and seriousness of their work, as well as for their use of color, experimentation with different artistic techniques, and the freshness of their subject matter.

PROSPETTIVA INSULARE AWARD
The Prospettiva Insulare prize is an artist residency that takes place in the Canary Islands, designed for an artist residing in Italy whose work is exhibited at The Others Art Fair 2024.
The Canary Islands are a unique place that, as a borderland, also serves as a meeting point. Geographically African, administratively European, and with a Caribbean soul, they create an extraordinary environment where distance from everything fosters reflection.
This award offers a unique opportunity for artistic exploration and reflection, highlighting the value of the island’s natural setting, geographic isolation, and relationship with the horizon.
The presence of Prospettiva Insulare within The Others Art Fair creates a bridge between young galleries, non-profit spaces, and artist-run spaces, encouraging the development of innovative and alternative strategies outside more established art circuits. This open and barrier-free dialogue reflects the inclusive spirit of both the fair and the award itself.
The jury will consist of Emanuela Mazzonis, Ettore Favini, Francesco Carone, and Giovanni Ozzola.
SPAZIOTTANTOTTO AWARD
In a world marked by challenges and uncertainties, art stands as a beacon of hope, visible from afar even to those who cannot see. This prize is dedicated to those extraordinary works that, despite adversity, manage to convey a message of trust and positivity to humanity. Trust is the root of hope, the attitude that allows us to look to the future with optimism, to believe in our abilities and the potential of others.
The prize aims not only to celebrate visual beauty and creativity but also to recognize the power of a work of art to inspire trust in human potential and promote a sense of security and calm. These are the elements that help overcome challenges, build stronger relationships, and look ahead with hope.
