Cinello Unlimited Award Launches to Honor Digital Art and Culture
The inaugural Premio Cinello Unlimited has been unveiled to honor outstanding achievements in art, culture, and digital innovation. Established by John Blem and Franco Losi, Cinello specializes in DAW® (Digital Artworks), which are high-resolution digital replicas of renowned artworks. Paola C. Manfredi conceived the award, which is backed by Enel, Intesa Sanpaolo, and Save The Artistic Heritage. A total of thirty finalists will be chosen from three categories: Artista, Giornalista, and Progetto, featuring notable contenders like Domenico Barra and Massimiliano Tonelli. Franco Losi will chair the jury. Winners in each category will receive €2,500, and a distinct study prize will be given to a university student. The award ceremony is set to take place in Milan, with the date yet to be confirmed due to health concerns.
