TENT Academy Awards
As the arts come increasingly under pressure, it’s important for TENT to support young talent in
a relatively inaccessible genre. For over twelve years, the TENT Academy Awards have provided
a stage for young audio-visual artists. After the Award Show, the nominated works will be
shown at TENT. The TENT Academy Awards will then be exhibited at the Dutch Institute, Athens,
from 29 September to 3 October. After this, the TENT Academy Awards will go on an
international tour.
