Cultural Diversity Price
Presentation
Since 2011, the French coalition for cultural diversity rewards each year personalities who have been particularly active in defending and promoting cultural diversity as well as an organization or an initiative which contributes to wide access to culture and to the diversity of cultural expressions: music, theatre, circus, cinema, plastic arts…
The call for applications was launched in early June and a jury of eight representatives of French Coalition member organizations met in late September to select the winners. They receive their awards at an official ceremony in December.
To participate the project needs to be predominantly in French. For more information, you can read the conditions of participation in French on this website.
