DucatoPrize is divided into two categories: Contemporary and Academy. The Prize culminates in an exhibition showcasing the ten finalist works—five from the Contemporary section and five from the Academy category. The initiative aims to reward both artists who have already embarked on a path within the contemporary art world and younger artists still enrolled in educational institutions, in order to support and stimulate their growth.
