Festival dell’Immagine - IDENTITÀ ARTISTICHE

Certainly! Here's the translation of the Italian text into English:

---

International Art Competition Exhibition “Festival of the Image” in Martina Franca – Taranto- Registrations open until September 15, 2025.

Riflessi D’Arte Aps-Ets is pleased to officially announce the launch of the 15th edition of the Festival of the Image, titled “Artistic Identities”, to be held from November 16 to November 23, 2025, at two prestigious exhibition venues in the city: the Ducal Palace and Casa delle Arti in Martina Franca.

Over these fifteen years, the Festival has become one of the most anticipated events in the Apulian and national art scene. This year, it once again establishes itself as a reference point for the promotion of contemporary art, welcoming artists from all over Italy and abroad. The theme chosen will be the soul of this festival, as explained by President Tonio Cantore: «Each edition of the Festival is deeply tied to the times and historical moments we live in. This year, we have chosen to explore the theme of identity, convinced that every artist undertakes an intimate and profound journey before imprinting on canvas or molding the material. A work is not just technique or experimentation, but a personal act of communication that reflects the unique code of its creator. Identity is what remains, beyond the signature.»

Artists have until September 15 to participate in the competition; the full call for entries is available on the official Festival website www.festivaldellimmagine.it.
In competition, the categories: paintings, drawings, and sculptures.
New for 2025: a special category dedicated to final-year students of Italian Fine Arts Academies has been introduced, with regulations and details available online. Participation will be free for this category only.

As every year, there will be a scientific committee for the 2025 edition composed as follows: Attorney Michele Punzi (Judge President), Dr. Giuliana Scialpi, Dr. Rosanna Carrieri, and Dr. Cira Catucci.
The role of official art critic will be entrusted to Dr. Elena Vukosavljevic (Art Manager & Curator - Project Coordinator), while the curation of non-competitive events will be managed by Dr. Daniela Del Moro, who returns with enthusiasm to the Festival team after her prestigious presence in the 2014 edition.

Riflessi D’Arte Aps-Ets warmly thanks all the members, the board, partners, and sponsors who continue to believe in and support this cultural project that has been enhancing artistic talent and beauty for fifteen years.
