The word of the President of the Jury:
The 30th "Aigle de Nice" Arts competition has just ended, it was a very beautiful show with quality works
I had the honor of chairing a jury of ten personalities from the Art and the Press who independently eestablished the palmares of the presented works and only the result of the addition of points made the ranking
Logical palmares which was also the choice of the public who voted throughout the course of the exhibition.
Of course the unrequited artists have been disappointed, but I invite them to motivate themselves to excel in their work in order to present in the future new works as the winners of this year who after several participations have remained on the sidelines.
After persevering and renewing in their works, they resulted in the result that all artists are hoping for.
So motivate yourself! and tthe "Aigle de Nice" will still be there to promote your talent.
Alain Benedetto
