According to Barbara Franchin, founder and soul of International Talent Support (ITS), the participants of the 15th edition, to be held on 15th and 16th July in Trieste, are “a generation of creatives who are shedding their skins“.
The projects that arrived in the EVE offices, the agency that created the international platform 15 years ago, have indeed shown an amazing quality, making the evaluation process particularly challenging and difficult.
