An important milestone, to be accomplished in the context of severe budgetary restraints as result of the european financial crisis and subsequent cuts of the art’s sponsoring. In order to fulfil the high quality standards that are the touch of this organization, we maintain the monetary prizes structure of 2013, with a Grand Prix that has the value of ten thousand euros.
