Six finalists were selected for the Paulo Cunha e Silva Prize

Out of the 47 designated artists for the first edition of the "Paulo Cunha e Silva Prize", the jury has pinpointed six finalists. The prize will reward an artist below the age of 40 years, who have not set up an exhibition event of international importance more than once. 

The jury, composed of curators João Laia and Vicente Todolí, coreographer Meg Stuart and visual artist Julião Sarmento, has reviewed the portfolios of the 47 artists.  

According to the jury, the quality of the work presented is outstanding, which made it difficult to select a winner at this point in time.

As such, the jury recommended that the City Hall extended the competition to a next phase. The result is a collective exhibition that will help the jurors select the wining project. The exhibition will take place March 2018 at Porto Municipal Gallery.

The winner will be awarded a 25 000 Euros with the support of Millennium bcp Foundation.
