Applications are open for the new Bernard de Launoit Montagne & Aventure Prize. This financial reward of €25,000 supports young people in their quest for adventure. Deadline February 1, 2025
Expedition grants have long played an instrumental role in helping climbers, mountaineers and adventurers explore the unknown and push their limits around the world. Recently, an exciting new grant was created by the Belgian Bernard de Launoit Foundation, which aims to support young people in their quest for adventure. Reflecting the passions of the late Bernard de Launoit, the Foundation will award prizes in four categories: visual arts, music, cinema and, interestingly, mountain adventure.
The Mountain & Adventure Prize is intended to support those who wish to realize their dreams of expeditions, travel and mountain adventures in hostile and/or atypical environments. The program is open to all relevant adventure disciplines and applicants must not only demonstrate a spirit of exploration but also present an original project, whether individual or collaborative, with a clear objective. According to information on the official website, “Originality, firsts and surpassing oneself will be important criteria for receiving this award. »
The scholarship amounts to a whopping €25,000 and is open to all candidates aged 18 to 35. An international jury composed of Anselme Baud, Sean Villanueva O’Driscoll, Fanny Schmutz, Paul-Erik Mondron, Arnaud van Schevensteen, Simon de Launoit and Thomas de Dorlodot will supervise the selection process.
Applications must be submitted by February 1.
