On the occasion of an announcement event in Prague during Opera Europa's Spring Conference, we are happy to announce 38 shortlisted projects (13 opera, 8 dance, 8 education, and 9 digital projects) for the FEDORA Prizes Biennale, originating from 29 countries and involving 124 cultural organisations and partners for the 8th edition of the FEDORA Prizes.

The expert jury will nominate three projects per category which will have the opportunity to run fundraising campaigns in autumn 2022 on the FEDORA Platform and get the chance to benefit from matching funds opportunities. The four winners will be announced in February 2023 during an Award Ceremony in Paris which will mark FEDORA’s 10 years anniversary.
