Call for Projects: Jacqueline Nonkels Prize 2023 (Belgium)

The Jacqueline Nonkels Prize will be awarded to any person or body who successfully contributes, even in part, to raising awareness and publicizing Belgium’s surrealist heritage, as well as to its preservation, restoration and conservation.

The prize may be awarded for:

• scientifically highlighting, in Belgium or abroad, Belgium’s surrealist heritage through research, publication, work or any other form of dissemination;
• any initiative by a Belgian institution designed to increase awareness and physical accessibility of the Belgian surrealism heritage (e.g. through acquisition, restoration, presentation, new displays or pedagogic projects).

The call is addressed to anyone who is studying surrealism in Belgium, or who deals with the conservation of objects, works or documents relating to Belgian surrealism. The prize is a way of encouraging such effort.
