"The European Commission is happy to continue to support the FEDORA Platform under the Creative Europe programme. FEDORA can harvest on an extensive experience in building a quality label for our many European opera and dance talents and allowing a wide European audience to discover them and access their art. FEDORA's excellent relations with private sponsors are beneficial for the sector and can serve as an example for other industries to develop new business models to help them grow. The platform scheme, which was created under Creative Europe, aims at showcasing emerging European talents - by rewarding them as well as interdisciplinary innovation. FEDORA sends an important and very positive message across Europe that we support."

Sponsors of the FEDORA Prizes

FEDORA - VAN CLEEF & ARPELS Dance Prize Sponsor

Founded in 1906 at Paris’ Place Vendôme, the High Jewelry Maison Van Cleef & Arpels has remained faithful to a highly distinctive style characterized by creativity, enchantment, artistic sensibility and poetry. Its collections have notably been influenced by dance, with the emblematic ballerina clips born in the 1940s. This interdisciplinary dialogue was reinforced by a decisive encounter with George Balanchine. In 1967 in New York, the well-known choreographer presented the ballet Jewels, inspired by the emeralds, rubies and diamonds he had admired in Van Cleef & Arpels’ Fifth Avenue boutique. Today, these cultural affinities endure in new collaborations between the Maison and the world of dance.

The FEDORA – VAN CLEEF & ARPELS Prize for Ballet symbolizes the Maison’s constant commitment to creativity and bears witness to its support for choreographic art, by encouraging new talents.

Château Maucoil is a historic property in Châteauneuf-du-Pape in France with over 400 years of history. In 2022, the Duseigneur estate, a specialist in biodynamics, took over the Château to cultivate its reputation in the region. Their vines grow on three different types of soil. To make their wines, they rely on this diversity by combining the different grape varieties and the different soils or, on the contrary, by choosing only one of them for a particular blend. This Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Château Maucoil red wine originates from the left bank of the Rhône River in France. It combines four grape varieties (Grenache noir, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault) which is the source of its unique complex flavour. After a fermentation period of approximately 30 days, with pumping over, delestage, and punching down, the wines are aged in a combination of vats barrels for twelve months before being blended.

The Loosen family has been growing Riesling and producing wine in the Mosel Valley in Germany for over 200 years. The current owner, Ernst “Erni” Loosen, assumed ownership in 1988, embarking on a quest to greatly improve the quality and international reputation of the estate, the Mosel region, and Riesling in general. Today, Erni is one of the most iconic and influential winemakers in the world. With countless awards to its name, the estate is a member of the invitation-only VdP (Germany’s quality-driven growers’ association) and holds multiple vineyards of GG status, Germany’s unofficial equivalent of Grand Cru. Lösnicher Försterlay near Bernkastel-Kues is a Grand Cru rated vineyard. The Riesling here is grown on red slate soil, which is typical for the Mosel region in Germany. This wine was fermented dry on indigenous yeast and stayed for twelve months in a foudre barrel on the full yeast without bâtonnage.
