Each exhibitor will have a dedicated page in the Official Catalogue of the XIVth Florence Biennale (published by Editoriale Giorgio Mondadori) and will compete for the "Lorenzo il Magnifico" International Award (for Art) and/or for the “Leonardo da Vinci Award (for Design), conferred by an International Jury, as well as for other Special Awards.
